Bayesian pays its dues on a per-account MUA.

We had not found it worth the electricity on a multi-user, multi-domain server.

OTOH, given that we typically do 80-85% of our rejection before even calling a 
stripped-down SpamAssassin, there wouldn't be much left for Bayes to analyze 
even if we still ran it.
