Bayesian Filtering
Date: 9/9/2003
The most recent release of Scribe has a new feature which you may have heard of: Bayesian Filtering. Which in a nutshell uses word count statistics to classify email into different groups. This idea has been sweeping the mail filtering industry by storm since Paul Graham published his Plan For Spam.

For my own sanity (I get 40+ spam a day) I decided Scribe needed better filtering, and Bayesian represents the best technology at the moment. So I've been testing my implementation of Bayesian Filtering for the last few weeks and it's working really well. You may have even noticed it in the filters menu of the last few test builds.
