Not having a Usenix login, I cannot comment on the full paper, but to quote this from the abstract:
Bayesian classification has been able to solve the spam problem for this user population for the present and observable future, with a single wordlist, and with no secondary spam filtering techniques ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The use of a single wordlist is appropriate for limited circumstances.

It would work even less in an ISP environment, with widely varied userbase.
