    I did read his paper. It presented no actual software... A few
    others have, but they are just proof of concepts as far as I see.
    ESR's bogofilter could be integrated into some mail software, but is
    not yet.

    One needs such a filter first... You can use SA to tune it to your
    mail flow today. What software can you use today that is or can
    easily by integrated nicely into your mail system?

    In the future, anything can be done (modified IMAP servers, modified
    mail clients that identify things as spam for feedback to the filter,
    etc.) I'm more interested in what I can accomplish today.

    Tomorrow I'll worry about writing code to integrate the baysean
    statistics...
