Some spams are pretty short. Something to the effect of "hey check this out" and a link. And when they are that short, Bayes is usually the thing that tags them, since there isn't much else to go off of. If you disabled Bayes for very short messages, I think you'd see a lot of one-liner spams slipping through. The better solution would be to more accurately train your Bayes.
