Initial Comment:
I notice that much of the code appears to be in Alpha 
state. I want to use this software (or the like) for a 
commercial project, so can I rely on it?

Well, if you're going to sell it to people, then IMO you really 
have an obligation to test it yourself, thoroughly, whatever 
we tell you about the code.

That said - it really depends what part of the code you're 
planning on using.  If it's the core classifier and tokenizer, 
without any x- options, then it's very stable.  The Outlook 
plug-in is just about as stable, as is sb_server, and I think the 
sb_filter/sb_mboxtrain scripts as well.  sb_imapfilter is a few 
steps behind, and sb_notesfilter and sb_pop3dnd are not at 
all there.

Since SpamBayes is used by a few people now, bugs do tend 
to show up reasonably quickly - if it hasn't been reported, 
then it's probably not going to effect many people, or there 
isn't a bug at all.  Take a look at the open bug reports and 
see what you think.  That would also tell you what you need 
to fix before you use it.

Note that there's no obligation, but we would be very happy 
to accept back any patches that you create if you do end up 
using it.  Good luck!
