Actually, it took me about 5 seconds to type:

apt-get install spamassassin

and then a very short time (minute or two, IIRC) to install, and then
I just added 3 lines to my procmail script. Of course, this is on
Debian, but what OS you use is hardly spamassassin's fault.

It is relevant. Sounds like you were comparing a server-class
anti-spam tool (you must be "this tall" to use spamassassin) with
tools aimed at end-users. Unfortunately, I haven't read the original
article (I was hanging out on /. yesterday and picked up some bad
habits).

I have just skimmed the article.
