Last I read on the spambayes mailing list, they've done an incredible 
amount of work in creating a very good evaluation function for the spam/ham 
determination.  I don't think it qualifies as either the Graham or Robinson 
method.  They may have started with Graham, but they've 
extended/expanded/modified/changed it a whole bunch.
