Paul Graham has a very interesting article on the use of
Bayesian filtering to get the SPAM rate down to 0.5%
of SPAMs sent. I'm unsure how much better this is than
SpamAssassin or SpamBouncer, but the article makes an
interesting read about how to apply "free speech"
restrictions to those who would impose costs on you
without saying "may I?".

Now, if there were just such a filtering system for Linux
machines...
