OK, I'll bite. I used it for a couple of weeks and I think it's terrific.
After the initial learning period I've had it process 2138 emails out of
which it classified 221 as spam and 1917 as good messages. There were no
false positives (all 221 were spam) but of the 1917 supposedly good mails
35 were really spam (1.8% false negatives).
You then manually reclassify the messages it got wrong and this is the way
it learns. I haven't used it long enough to be completely sure but I think
it's getting better every day.

Here is the link again: http://www.keir.net/k9.html . It's developing quite
rapidly, from version 1.00 to 1.03 in less than 2 weeks.
