Note to Digital Man, have you ever looked over SpamAssassin's source code? 
It's mostly written in Perl I believe, but it's a REALLY GOOD system for 
trapping spam and utilizes a bayesian rules learning set, as well as definable 
heuristics for doing a scoring system of what is and isn't spam. I use it on 
my own mailservers on my home system and it works pretty darn well, it gets 
about 75-80% of the spam that I get in without me having to touch a thing (and 
without always appending a spam filter list at that...). Give it at least a 
glance-over if you've never seen it before http://spamassassin.apache.org/
