Hehe I'd add that bogofilter comes with sane defaults, is stable (I don't
even vaguely remember when I trashed my wordlist.db last time) and simply
works out of the box. :)

I've deployed it for my family and friends on the server side so that they
don't have to mess with it. That might have taken away some user questions
aswell.

To be fair I've been told that SA is a lot better these days then in the
beginning and it can be integrated into a full fledged amavisd-new setup
without a lot of hassle. I guss it still requires some tuning now and then
which I don't need with bogofilter.

Cheers,
