Thanks for the feedback.  If people have tried before it's unlikely
I'll do much better :)

One of the main attractions is the Bayes Learning stuff, which seems
to be nicely implemented (and non trivial) and the URI Blacklist
lookup, plus bad word lists & the general scoring system which is
really cool, plus the ability to tweak the setting and add rules via
plugins, etc.

It seems that SA is fairly mature and has a good user base, so it
would seem a nice idea to hook into this rather than reinventing these
components.

Any suggestions how to achieve this either via SA or otherwise
(existing CPAN modules?) would be much appreciated, if anyone here is
knowledgeable in this area.

Yes, there will be some captcha stuff too but I see that as separate
to the actual 'identifying spam content' issue.

cheers for any help.
