Spamass-milter is sturdy and combined with the clamav-milter + Sanesecurity rules it kicks ass! You need to help yourself a little now, use Google, look up the documentation and come back with what you've done if you get stuck. You won't get the most helpful responses to 'how do I' questions, whereas the 'I have tried this but I'm stuck....' will often yield a flurry of help.
