You should probably start with the SpamBayes Background page:

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/background.html

It contains an overview of the SpamBayes filtering process as well as
references to some of the papers that formed the basis for the SpamBayes
algorithms.  In particular, you should probably start with the Linux Journal
article by Gary Robinson.
