IMO Bayes is the most important of the many tools found within SpamAssassin. Bayes is the primary reason I can spend my time developing new rules, since I get only a handful of false negatives a week. In my view, the main benefits of having an extensive rule set are 1) to help identify new spam that Bayes has not yet learned, and 2) to auto-feed spam to Bayes (since Bayes will not auto-feed itself). I can understand why Bayes-only anti-spam systems work so well. Bob Menschel
