I've stopped purging spam lately, in the hopes of soon switching to one of
these simple frequency (or preferably something with a larger chain length)
probabilistic filters. Still at least since it's the same old crud it'll
presumably compress fairly well, and big disks are pretty cheap. The
write-up from Paul Graham <http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html> is fairly
compelling, although I'm sure this isn't new to many folk who pay more
attention than me.
