Did you spot the bit towards the end of the page though ;-)

"Update, May 2002: I am fairly happy with the approach above, but since
I am being deluged in spam at my work address where I regularly need to
see email from people I don't know yet, I decided to give spamassassin a
try. It is fantastic; I highly recommend it. Although I don't like
heuristic-style filtering in general, spamassassin works well because it
has a huge list of filters and uses a score-based approach. See also:
Hugo's notes on spamassassin, integration with whitelists, Razor, etc."
