SpamAssassin is Wonderful

Boston University where I work and get all my email just recently enabled SpamAssassin on all mail through the central server. I have now made sure that all my mail goes through this server and it is a godsend. Previously I was maintaing a .procmailrc file by hand and it took a bunch of time and was only moderately effective. SpamAssassin is vastly more effective and after a tiny bit of initial setup, there is basically no additional maintenance.

For anyone out there who gets a ton of spam and doesn't have an effective filtering program, I think there is probably almost no investment of time worth more than getting SpamAssassin or another good program installed on your system.
