I thought I'd check this out, but had trouble finding it. In case anyone
else is curious, it's 'sortmonster' and here's a link:

I wasn't able to get the demo working and am not willing to spend too much
time trying, but frankly I wasn't too impressed with the idea. They appear
to have taken a virus-scanner approach to spam detection: It's a $25/month
service that requires regular updates to work.

It's also distributed as a binary only, and there's no easy way to tell
exactly what rules it's using. You're at the mercy of one company (a)
staying in business and (b) having the same ideas as you about what is or
isn't spam.

There's not much information about it on the Web right now. Maybe if other
people have good results with it it would be worth implementing as a
SpamAssassin test, but I think SA with Bayes and Razor would be far more
useful.
