I agree with you on the effectiveness of statistical filters for
personal use.
However, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them for corporate use. My
observations are that most corporate email is internal and that only a
relatively small portion of employees need to receive work-related mail
from external sources - in particular sales, marketing and other outward
facing staff. So for small to medium companies it works great.
Large multinations and ISPs are a different matter altogether...

You're completely right on all this affirmations. What I really wanted
to say is that statistical filters are very, very good for personnal
use, but not for corporate structures. And most of the time I hear about
bayesian/statistical filters, this particular point is left...
