Bogofilter is something that we can't recommend to all users. Most people are
not smart enough to use such filtering systems. When I talk to people about
anti-spam measures most people who report using Bayesian systems tell me that
they "train" the filter with all mail listed as spam!!! This indicates a
total lack of understanding of how the Bayesian systems work. If it
accidentally classifies a legit message as spam the last thing you want is to
train the filter on that legit message and have it learn to stop other legit
mail!
Gray-listing is something that's difficult to screw up.
