Unlikely. We already use a bayesian filter and a RBL checker as a first line
of defense. It is successfully recognizing common spam messages, ones that
repeat in waves.
2 Alon: It also marks all your messages as spam when you accidentally post
from your alternative, not subscribed address, thanks to a "clever" spam
tactic to include a block of text from last century classic books with every
ad mail.
I am glad I am moderating a linux list, the spam mails rarely talk about
linux, and the fact that it is an English list really saves the day. Most
spam mails are in Russian(brute force on huge database), Hebrew(naturally,
because of .il tld), Turkish, Portuguese and Chinese. So the bayesian filter
now rejects all the mails that use a foreign encoding, about 90% of all mod
queue traffic.
