BTW, what I was talking about was the Dobly noise reduction technique,
not DSPAM itself.

there's no doubt that a manually-built rule-based system requires someone
to collect and write the rules.  The anti-SpamAssassin stuff I didn't
like was more regarding how crappy perl is, how SpamAssassin requires
more training and tweaking than a pure-bayes filter does because it's
so inaccurate, some FUD about how DSPAM infers the same stuff as
SpamAssassin's rules do by picking an extremely simple example which
isn't in the distro anymore, etc. etc. etc.
