Not only do bayesian filters work but they solve several problems that rules based filters can't solve. #1, my spam may be your reading material- if I let you set rules for me, I might have wanted to see that sale at jcrew that you declared spam. #2. If you are rules based you have to make up new rules and distribute them as soon as the spammers try out a new method to get by you. If you are bayesian, and you are good, you analyze the content and declare it spam anyway. I recommend InBoxer at http://inboxer.com for a free 21 day trial.
