Better Spam Filtering

I’m taking time from my busy schedule (all of the software I’ve written for work seems to need upgrading at once!) to read Paul Graham’s further adventures in spam filtering. It’s a bit technical, but interesting. I’m running a spam filter based on an earlier version of Paul’s Bayesian filtering algorithm, but it’s still in training so I don’t yet know how well it works.
