i came across a link to an excellent article on the future of spam fighting. update:here's another link to a paper discussing several methods of spam clasification.
esr (eric raymond) has created bogofilter, a program that puts the theory into operation. i'm going playing around with it to see if i'll start using it instead of spamcop as my primary spam removal tool.
esr is someone i've got a ton of respect for. he's the maintainer of the jargon file, which printed as the new hacker's dictionary, was my introduction to the programmer culture. he's also been a major force in the free software and linux movements. i'm amazed to see that he still has time to do something like this.
