[ale] Spam Assasin + Bayesian Filters

[Christopher Fowler]

I like it too *but* I have some issues.  I'm using it now to check my
inbox.  Luckily we are small and do not have 100's of mail users.  One 
day I was doing some tests on an embedded device and sent abut 200 email messages
at once to our mail server.  I figured no big deal.  Since <flambait> spam assasin
is written in perl, it took my mail server down to its knees </flamebait>.  The server
stopped accepting mail and it took about 10 minutes for it to parse through all
that mal coming in.  I was amazed at how this caused such a problem so fast.
In a smaill installation like ours, it is the best thing since sliced bread but on
an enterprise level, I'm not so sure.  I can get away with having a two-bit network, but
not sure about others.
