Do you mean they don't use a naive Bayesian classifier, or that they don't use Bayesian probability at all? I'd have a hard time believing the latter.

Updated the title to take bayesian out.

I too would definitely want to hear more about what Akismet does use... That is, if you want to tell us ;)

That's interesting to know. Feel comfortable elaborating any?
