As an admin with two years of CS education... I think Spamassassin is one of the easiest programs to get, install, etc.. The documentation on it's tests is great. There's no voodoo like many anti-spam products.
Stopping spam is not simple, and there are no illusions otherwise. SA doesn't make it harder than necessary.
