Given the volume of valid email on the LKML it took me all of 3 days to get a fresh install of my mail client's bayes filter trained to a <5% false negative rate and a <0.5% false positive rate. Theoretically a similarly tuned bayes filter on vger with a web- interface for people to vote on spamminess would allow us to fix any remaining problems; but the spam levels are so low already; why bother?
