I tried SpamPal prior to using K9. What I didn't like about SpamPal (unless its
changed) is that it uses those damn lists, and at the most aggresive setting it
caught to many false-positives (for those that don't know what that means, it
marked mail as SPAM when indeed it was not SPAM).
But, to be fair, that was at the highest settings. But, if you're telling me
now that they have the Bayesian plug-in, I may have to look into it, assuming I
can turn off the other options.
K9, however, works great so far.

Troth,
I too used K9 till my old laptop bit the dust. The one I'm trying now
is SpamPal which uses the old-fashioned "normal methods" but also has
the ability (thru a plugin) to use Bayesian filtering techniques.
Pretty interesting. You may want to check it out.

Here's an article reviewing two SPAM filters, POPFile and SpamBayes,
that use Bayesian filters as the method for determining what's SPAM and
what's not. http://home.dataparty.no/kristian/reviews/bayesian/
If you remember, a few weeks ago I was discussing a new SPAM filter I
started using called K9. K9 uses Bayesian filters as well, and I'm happy
to report that the SPAM has gotten less and less... to the point of
almost zero.
While I haven't tried POPFile and SpamBayes, I encourage anyone wanted
to do so, and ask that you drop a line here and let me (or us) know your
results with it. Although I so far love K9, if there's something better,
I'd love to have it.
