I think the bigest thing that got to me was his concept of wordlist
population.  He mentions that the number of mesages doesn't matter,
and when he dumps a directory of 100+ msgs it only ditects as 3.  And
then his nightly cron job.  He makes no provision to clear out the
spam/nonspam directory, nor to reset the wordlist.  So the way that
cron job runs he's reregistering every piece of mail every night.
