I have some experience working with SpamBayes, which I am using very 
successfully to server-side filter my email.  I have basically no fear 
about allowing my email address to be harvested by anybody who wants it. 
  If someone would like to cooperate on integrating SpamBayes into the 
Wiki, I'd be happy to lend a hand on it.
