Here are a few implementations of Bayesian spam filters:

Bogofilter: This is the one I use. It's Unix only. 
http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/

Spambayes: My future father-in-law uses this one. There's a plugin for 
Outlook (not Outlook Express!); if you use anything else you also need to 
install Python.
http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/

POPFile: I've heard good things about this one, though I don't know anyone 
who uses it.
http://popfile.sourceforge.net/
