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.

Do you know how to set it up properly as a machine-wide service?
I've done this on my server (running Debian), i might be able to help with the setup.

My understanding was that this list was configured to automatically reject messages that are not from subscribers. I find that this change virtually eliminates all spam. People who send a message without being subscribed will get a warning message explaining what happened, and they can figure out what to do from there.
In my experience, SpamAssassin is only a partial solution, but I'm probably a very extreme case. I get over 1,000 spams a day, and SpamAssassin catches only about half of them. Most of the rest are caught by my own homemade "automatic whitelisting" thingy, but I still have to go through the "nowhitelist" folder by hand for now.

Did you try sa-learn? Enabling the all spam relay db lookups and Vipul's Razor also helps a lot.
I'm working on this problem Jimbo... keep in touch. :-)
