SpamBayes Alternatives
SpamBayes is described as 'The SpamBayes project is working on developing a statistical (commonly, although a little inaccurately, referred to as Bayesian) anti-spam filter, initially based on the work of Paul Graham' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to SpamBayes for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Microsoft Office Outlook and SaaS. The best alternative is Mailwasher, which is free. Other great apps like SpamBayes are POPFile, SPAMfighter, SpamSieve and Spamihilator.
