Interesting. I ran a couple of pieces of mail through and it seemed to do well...the item that it made a mistake on was a (solicited) newsletter that was tagged as spam. My limited experience with filters suggests that's a common problem - it's easy enough to identify a pitch, but how do you decide if it's something you asked for or not? In any event, how do you see something like this working? Is it a tool for ISPs? Do individual users plug it into their email? Both?
