Hi Adrian,

... and yet another method of deployment :-)  

When I learned of Bayesian filters, my goal was handling the 100 spam a
day for my small domain.  The count's up 5 to 8-fold (depending on
phase of the moon, or something), and I've gotten to know folks around
the globe.  

'Tis a good deal!

David
