[spambayes-dev] Wittel/Wu article on statistical attacks

[Skip Montanaro]

Has anyone investigated the attack methods outlined in the Wittel/Wu paper
at the CEAS conference:

    http://ceas.cc/papers-2004/170.pdf

It's not obvious to me why SpamBayes should have performed as poorly as the
authors indicated.  In particular, they were adding common dictionary words
which should have just added non-extreme words which should have for the
most part been ignored (spamprobs between 0.4 and 0.6).
