SpamBayes a statistical (Bayesian) anti-spam filter with an emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages. It will classify incoming email messages as ’spam’, ‘ham’ (good, non-spam email) or ‘unsure’. This means you can have spam or unsure messages automatically filed away in a different mail folder, where it won’t interrupt your email reading.

SpamBayes will work with most POP3 or IMAP compatible clients. It flags the messages so that your mailer can handle the different message types. You might set it up so that ham goes straight through untouched, spam goes to a folder that you ignore (or delete without checking) and the unsure messages go to another folder which you can review for errors.
