There is a recent study
report on results of eleven variants of six widely used
open-source spam filters including SpamBayes. The conclusion was “Supervised
spam filters are effective tools for attenuating spam. The best-performing filters reduced the
volume of incoming spam from about 150 messages per day to about 2 messages per day.
The corresponding risk of mail loss, while minimal, is difficult to quantify.” I’ll leave it to
those with more time on there hands than I to decipher the specific details on
SpamBayes performance. The report is at http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~gvcormac/spamcormack06.pdf
