I've been using SB for a long time, together with Outlook 2003 rules,
and the combination works pretty well.

However, I wonder what will happen if I switch to Outclass/POPfile, from
the spam angle - would it be better, worse or same?

Reason I'm thinking about it is the Outlook 2003 rules are limited in
size (*). Once you define a certain number of rules, the additional
rules will simply not work without any error messages from Outlook

Thanks

(*) As far as I understand, the limitation is not the number of rules,
but rather the total length of all the rules, so it's 
         LIMIT=SUM(length(rule1), length(rule2),...length(ruleN))
where length(ruleX) depends on the number of conditions, length of the
text strings being compared, etc.

You should try POPfile: <http://popfile.sf.net>, which lets you train
the classifier to output into multiple categories.

There's also an Outlook plug-in: <http://www.vargonsoft.com/Outclass/>
