No, a Baysian classifier would probably work quite well. See, all the
ham contains works like "viagra" in the same sentence as "double-blinded
randomised trial", while all the spam contains "viagra" in the same
sentence as "lowest price meds of guaranteed". ;-)
It's the keyword-based filters that fail horribly. (And not just because
many of them don't let you edit the keywords...)
