(Not sure how I missed Chris's response. Oh well...)
What Amedee writes is true. In addition, on the python.org mail server we
have SpamBayes integrated with Postfix. I'm not sure how all the pieces fit
together, but SpamBayes runs while the SMTP connection is still open. I
maintain the training database. We also have minimal integration with
Mailman which allows us to score messages coming from Usenet
(comp.lang.python -> python-l...@python.org).
So, yes, you can run SpamBayes on a server in many cases.
