And you're so good at it! ;)
bogofilter is a C-based statistical spam filtering ..yada..yada..yada.
And it works acceptably for individual users (since it uses BDB for token storage). I also question the author's knowledge of Berkeley DB usage, since he specifically discusses NFS usage which is strictly forbidden for all but a tiny number of NFS implementations (due to the BDB shared memory map requirements).
However, for a larger installation, bogofilter simply won't work well, because it doesn't support a multiuser database (like MySQL or PostgreSQL). dspam also provides several other categorization schemes which bogofilter doesn't have.
I can personally confirm that dspam works great; my personal account stats are:
filtering accuracy is 98.895% since last reset
false positive rate is 0.728% since last resetand since the spam are quarantined, I can deal with the very rare false positive. Unlike SpamAssassin, as an administrator I do not have to do anything to achieve high accuracy.
