Looks interesting. It's taking the Bayesian buzzword which has been 
proven to be very effective (I've got some users using Popfile, which 
works on a similar principle) and building a structure where it can be 
used by an entire office. I've played with bogofilter before, and while 
it was remarkably effective, there were a lot of hurdles to scaling it 
up for my whole office. This looks like it might have removed those 
hurdles.

Let me know if you install it and it works. It might save me installing 
Popfile on every computer in the office. (We do use some DNSBLs and 
SpamAssassin as well, but there's still quite a lot coming through.)
