I wanted a spam filter that natively supports both Unix and Windows.
Bogofilter requires Cygwin to build on Windows, and bsfilter is
implemented by Ruby language.

This spam filter is more than a bayesian filter. It can combine any
type of filters via its APIs. For example, a whiltelist and a blacklist
filter may be added in the future.

This filter is also provided as a library, so it can be integrated into
applications completely. It also improves performance because it does
not require process execution.

Its accuracy and performance seems not as good as bogofilter yet, but I
want to solve it in the future.
