You know, I think bogofilter is sort of aimed at higher end users and 
sysadmins (if it's "aimed" at anyone) but I think this does it an injustice.

While it took me some tinkering to get to the stage where I knew how to get it 
running, looking back, the steps weren't that difficult. The information just 
wasn't sitting at the surface. I bet that many less technical users of linux 
could use bogofilter successfully. It's a lot faster than the (more user 
friendly) perl-based statistical spam filter I had set up a while back and 
integrating it didn't take long at all. Nor did training...

In other words, I'm raving about bogofilter and thinking it should be used 
more widely than I bet it is! :-)
