Review from about.com Guide Rating - 4 stars out from 5
"When Outlook Express first came out, spam was not really a problem. But today, an email program without an effective means to tame unwanted messages is a lot like a TV set without a remote, with no way to turn it off and without schedule. Fortunately, there are many tools that implement spam filtering for and in Outlook Express — the better integrated and the simpler, the better. SpamArrow is particularly simple and especially well integrated with Outlook Express. The junk mail detected by SpamArrow is moved to a special folder but not otherwise changed. Should a good message make it to the "SpamArrow" folder (and intially, this can happen), a click on the "Good Mail" button restores the message to your Inbox. Conveniently, this also trains the Bayesian component of Spam Assassin, the open source filtering engine used by SpamArrow, preventing all future mail that looks similar from being misjudged as spam. Of course, marking spam in your Outlook Express Inbox is just as easy. While SpamArrow automatically filters all mail in POP accounts and while you can manually scan any local folder for spam, it does not work with IMAP account. It would also be nice, at least initially, if the filter sensitivity could be configured. "

SpamArrow Bayes filter

It is hard to create a set of rules that would be accepted by everyone to define spam, but each individual may know what he or she considers to be spam when he or she sees it. That means that the best way to categorize spam is for each person to categorize it by example.

Bayesian spam filters are based on real world examples of spam, which are used to classify future e-mail. There are at least four advantages using Bayesian filtering technology to identify spams.

1) Bayesian filters are advantageous because they take the whole context of a message into consideration. Unlike other filtering techniques that look for spam-identifying words in subject lines and headers, a Bayesian filter uses the entire context of an e-mail when it looks for words or character strings that will identify the e-mail as spam. For example, Bayesian filters examine the words in a body of an e-mail, its header information and metadata, word pairs and phrases and even HTML code that can identify. In other words, Bayesian filtering is a much more intelligent approach because it examines all aspects of a message, as opposed to keyword checking that classifies a mail as spam on the basis of a single word.

2) A Bayesian filter is constantly self-adapting. Bayesian filters are adaptable in that the filter can train itself to identify new patterns of spam. It generally act faster to block new types of spam e-mails. This is because rule and list based spam blockers react to spam, they do not anticipate it. Each set of rules or sender names to be blocked are created in response to the initial flood of messages. Then, after the messages arrive, the anti-spam product is updated. Unfortunately, the spammers get the updates at the same time as the filter users. This enables the spammers to modify their message so that the next salvo will bypass even the newest filters.

A Bayesian filter learns to identify new spam the more it analyzes incoming e-mails. Using Bayesian filtering requires that you first train the mailer by showing it a bunch of mail that is junk, and a bunch of mail that is not. Then, you let it automatically classify new mail for you, and you continue to correct it as it makes mistakes.

3) The Bayesian technique is sensitive to the user and is difficult to fool. The Bayesian technique learns the email habits of the company and understands that. It let each user define spam so that the filter is highly personalized. Bayesian filters also automatically update and are self-correcting as they process new information and add it to the database. If an advanced spammer wants to trick a Bayesian filter spammer, it would have to know the email profile of each recipient. Because the Bayesian filter is customized by individual users, a spammer can never hope to gather this kind of information from every intended recipient.

4). The Bayesian method is multi-lingual and international. A Bayesian anti-spam filter, being adaptive, can be used for any language required. Most keyword lists are available in English only and are therefore quite useless in non English-speaking regions. The Bayesian filter also takes into account certain languages deviations or the diverse usage of certain words in different areas, even if the same language is spoken. This intelligence enables such a filter to catch more spam.
