Sure, and I do in procmail (and it isn't random.  I pay mycomicspage.com
for the non-randomness).

I currently have a pretty big procmail+.spamassassin/user_prefs setup
for spam/ham filtering that works well.  But, I want to see if I can
remove my prefilters and white/blacklists and see if the Bayesian
filtering can work (or not).

Just wanting to try out the effectiveness of the system or not.  If I
don't like it, it's easy enough to do a "use_bayes 0".
