As far as I know Spamassassin is not a Bayesian spam filter, but a
pattern matching spamfilter, so to compare is not easy. Besides I
couldn't have spamassassin sort my mailinglist mails :-) Ifile works
great on the mailinglists where I had lots of e-mail to train it with.
However it still thinks the ifile mailinglist mails should be in the Vorbis
folder, but I made some macros in mutt so I can retrain each mail to the
correct folder so it will get there I think :-)
