tried it and settled on bogofilter now. SpamAssassin needed much
more training than I could provide it to kick in. It would also
require some tweaking because otherwise it classifies all email
forvarded form Usenet as forged headers, resulting in useless
scores. Not to mention SpamAssasin eats more resources than
mozilla and runs about equally fast.

So if you want just a simple bayesian filter that is quite usable
with very little training and setup try
