And, for a flipside, I've found it great. As an example,one of my
accounts had 68 messages in it when I returned home tonight. One of
them was legitimate. All the rest was spam.
BayesIt and Bayes Spam Filter, working together, automatically deleted
62 messages. They let through the one legitimate one. One ended up in
the Junk folder, and four ended up in my inbox. The four in my inbox
were all very short messages, and an analysis of my logs shows that it
was Bayes Spam Filter that let them through - it's been running
alongside BayesIt for a while now, but seems to take longer to train.

In my experience, I've never seen something as easy and simple to set
up as BayesIT, or as quick to get working - I installed it a long time
ago, marked all my mail as ham and/or spam, and then started marking
mail that got through. After a week, it was incredibly rare to see
anything slip past.

They key seems to be the training - but BayesIt makes that very easy.
Sadly, it also doesn't make it very clear that you have to train it in
both ham and spam...
