It’s certainly fair to say that using SpamAssassin can be a fairly effective means of filtering much of the spam that manages to trickle down into your inbox. Yet despite it being pretty easy to setup, I’ve never been all that impressed with its performance myself.
Don’t get me wrong, from a server side perspective it is a pretty good place to start. And it setup right, it can do a pretty good job. But I have found that I have vastly better luck running a local POPFile server here in my home.
To make things even sweeter, you can use this guide to setup a POPFile server and do so with some SSL protection to boot. So really, you could even use both POPFile (LAN) and SpamAssassin (on the mail server). Between the two of them, chances are excellent that you will cut down your spam immensely.
