I have spamassassin running on my server for all mail accounts- it works just great- even without training. Filtered 1600 spams in the last three months, missed four, no false positives.
Brion,
Can we install Spam Assassin software on the wikien-l mailing list? How about other mailing lists?
Anthere and I have gotten tired of reading and deleting up to 30 daily spam, spam, spam, ham, eggs and spam (hasn't got MUCH spam in it) every day -- the joke gets old after a while.

I have to add that spamassassin uses a bit of cpu for its processing, but at the rather low volume of mails processed by the mailing lists this shouldn't be a problem.

Because of mydoom I strongly recommend using a procmail filter for killing attachments *before* they reach SpamAssassin. Before I did so SA literally killed my system because it hit internal file limits. The following rule works well:
:0 B * ^ *Content-Disposition: attachment; * filename=".*.(pif|exe|scr|zip|bat|cmd)" virus
It kills zip files, too, but this shouldn't be a problem for the mailing list. In fact we might want to filter all mails that contain attachments - use URLs instead.
SpamAssassin is very good at killing spam, but it is not very well suited for attachment filtering because of its slowness for large mails.
Regards,
Erik

Do I need to unregister from the mailing list as a user for the mails to stop entirely ? I am not receiving all of them, only part of them. That did not happen when I resigned from administrating the fr list; What is happening ?
