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.
SpamAssassin *is* extremely hard to get up and running, when one is using a Windows workstation without perl. Even with perl it is hard, as the spamd can not be put up with anything there is. I think even cygwin does not help there. I have tried to compile spamd for cygwin, but could not make it. I would have used it as one spamd instance in my LAN in addition to the working Linux ones, but could not get it working. I did not pull my hair out, though. I just dropped the "project" ;) I mean, people are used to download a setup.exe, click next->next->next->close. For such person, SA is impossible. SpamAssassin is not meant for users like that. It is a component of an email server, and for an admin used to it, is quite easy to setup. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ The bay-trees in our country are all wither'd And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven; The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth And lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change. These signs forerun the death or fall of kings. -- Wm. Shakespeare, "Richard II"
