Nope not familiar with it.  I'm using SpamBayes right now.  I've used
Mailwasher in the past, was okay, but wasn't thoroughly impressed, and
I've used K-9.  K-9 did all right once trained about a 93-94% accuracy
rate (something I never achieved with MailWasher.  SpamBayes is at
something like 98% accuracy.  I'm pretty happy.

What makes it really interesting is that James could just as easily
preauthorize the people on this list, rather than ask us to do it.

The problem that I have with these types of systems is that they can
potentially be abused.  I mean using SpamArrest verifies an active email
address.  What better way to gather emails.

James you can do the same thing in your email client by using rules, or
you can filter your mail using Bayesian filtering which is about 98%
(this is my effectiveness rate) effective.
