A single classifier is only good for individuals or for groups / lists
where there is a uniform notion of what is ham and what is spam.  The
general approach to filtering could certainly be used for a large
institution, but seems to require some tailoring to an individual's
ham.  There are a bunch of interesting UI and systems issues to
resolve for such usage.
