SpamAssassin suffered a very bad case of Featuritis almost the day it
was released. Adding a Bayesian analyser to it won't make it any
better. Besides it cannot do a proper job because it cannot alone
classify messages and that means you'll have to get everyone who wants
to use this feature to forward all their spam back to a special input
address for it instead of just deleting it.
