This looks like spam to me.
Or at least a not-so-bright editor of Yet Another computer magazine that
is a complete waste of trees.
Also Spambayes has no connection with F-Secure.

I don't speak on behalf of Spambayes, but because of its open license,
there is no permission needed to distribute it. The least amount of
research would have shown that.
