Indeed, very well for us. Not just for one domain. In my opinion site-wide 
Bayes is the only one that makes sense unless your *single* users really 
send and receive *lots* of mail. The ordinary domain/user just doesn't get 
enough mail for a nicely working bayes db.

We auto-learn all spam with scores 8 or higher. Users usually do not 
learn. The score for autolearning spam has been lowered to -2 to avoid 
learning spam that slips thru as ham.

We learn all quarantined spam once per night, so that we get low-scoring 
spam into Bayes as well. That works fine because the FP rate for spam is 
almost non-existent. We also learn spam from some spam-traps.

The only problems I've ever had with Bayes are expiry problems (search 
this list). There's something wrong with the algorithm getting used for 
the estimate method. I only got rid of them by going to SQL storage and 
manually expiring the SQL db with my own queries.
