SpamAssassin has had a bayesian filter, in addition to the rules, for the past 8 releases. The first version with a bayes subsytem was 2.50, released Feburary of 2003.

No need to share this with the sa-devs.. they clued in a long time ago.

Adaptive weighting?

It sounds like you misunderstood the point. Unless something changed since 2.50, the bayesian filter is just a separate set of rules. The weight on each rule (including the Bayesian rules) is static.
