What is spamprobe
A spam filter that takes a different approach from the typical hand crafted rules based systems. Instead of using pattern matching and a set of human generated rules SpamProbe relies on a Bayesian analysis of the frequency of words used in spam and non-spam emails received by an individual person. The process is completely automatic and tailors itself to the kinds of emails that each person receives. Spamprobe is not a mail filtering program itself but is designed to plug into another mail filtering system like procmail or Perl Mail
