Thanks for responding Mark. As you indicated, SpamBayes has been on long-term hiatus. The biggest impressive for me are a) Gmail does a good job, and b) I've so far been unable to convince anyone with Windows packaging experience to update that side of things.
That said, porting most of it to Python 3 isn't likely to be all that difficult. A couple of us have taken partial cracks at it.
