Using Bayesian statistics from a database of existing spam, no initial training period is necessary.
Unfortunately you will have to rely on someone else's definition of spam in the beginning so you may see some false positives right out of the box.
In addition to Bayesian filtering, SpamAid uses "blacklists" and "whitelists" to streamline spam filtering. It also uses a system of "phrase filters" that you can customize.
Pros
Uses Bayesian filtering with a high accuracy
You can "spam-test" your own outgoing mail for its potential of being caught in someone else's spam filter
Easy to use
Cons
You cannot tell SpamAid to scan certain folders automatically.
False positives can be expected when you start using it.

One of the most important business expenses that a company will entail is advertising expense. Though this may take many forms, classified ads tend to be one of the largest proportions, both online and offline. Without advertising, a retailer cannot expect to draw customers to his site, so he wants to utilize as many advertising methods as he has at his disposal, including classified ads, website submissions, and other types of online advertising.Sometimes it's difficult for a n

Anti-Spam Pilot uses heuristic filters to spot and isolate spam. This is a somewhat older technology where you filter the email by looking for patterns that might match a collection of known spam. For example, the anti spam software might find certain words, phrases, punctuation, that give it a clue that this is spam in your email box. It then provides a score for the email. If the score is too high, the anti spam software will isolate the spam into a separate folder or do anything else you specify.
This approach is different than a Bayesian filter that actually learns as you go. The upside of this is that you don't have to spend a lot of time "training" the filter. The downside is that it doesn't detect as much spam as some other packages using Bayesian technology.
You do have the option of reporting missed spam (false negatives) and the rare spam emails that escape through the filter (false positives). You can also keep a list of spammers (a blacklist) and a list of legitimate emailers (a whitelist) as a way to increase Anti-Spam Pilot's overall effectiveness.
Pros
Simple and uncomplicated to use
Detects a good deal of spam
Low number of false positives
It's easy to reclassify email mistaken as spam (and vice versa)
Cons
Does not filter IMAP accounts, only POP accounts
Only works with Outlook
