Theoretically, it will not defeat the bayesian filter, but in reality, it does affect the filter, especially considering the impact on speed and memory usage. personally, I think designing an algorithm that "forget" rarely used tokens may be tedious or costly/impractical...

The way we used in a real world implementation spamweed is to mix bayesian filter with other technologies, especially those that can extract useful information among spammer's decoys, which significanly increase bayesian filter efficiency and stabilily.
