I second that. My installation of POPFile is currently running at a
whisper short of 99% accuracy. It's quite a shock these days when I
actually get a spam message in my regular mail.

The great thing about POPFile is that you can set up any number of
categories - not just spam and ham - and use it for general mail
classification. It adds a custom header or a tag to the subject (or
both if you so desire) so it's a piece of cake to filter in The Bat -
or any other POP3 e-mail client for that matter.

As an experiment I've been running BayesIt and POPFile side-by-side
and POPFile always catches spams that BayesIt misses

The one downside is the POPFile, as its name suggests, can only handle
POP3 accounts.  IMAP support is on the agenda but it isn't expected
anytime soon.
