Would that be Bayes rather than Hayes. I've been using Spam Bayes, rather than Spam Assassin, for the last couple/three months.  It is purely Bayesian, as opposed (as I understand it) to Spam Assassin, which uses a bunch of different things, internal and external.

I wasn't really happy with the idea of keeping up with SPAMsource lists, either dynamical/real-time or with periodically gathered static list. I also didn't really dig the idea of having to consume more bandwidth to do all the dynamic things, such a checking black hole lists and relay-host list, yada yada. 

I've been happy with Spam Bayes. Having not use Spam Assassin I do not know if it would be even more happy-making.

Has anyone out there use both packages? Any comments on how they compare?
