it’s a rather large PITA for a small site with an admin that needs to count on most things running on autopilot most of the time in order to survive.
I have to disagree with that.I've been running SpamAssassin for > 15 years and have found it to be mostly trouble free. - I have cron jobs update it's files and rely on milters to accept / tag / reject messages. - I spend very little time caring for / feeding SpamAssassin. Probably < 5 minutes a month.)
Sure, I occasionally fiddle with things, but that's because I want to, not because I need to.
So, while it might be a higher-quality solution, I’d argue that it’s not completely “better” in that any autopilotable configuration of it involves a high degree of false negatives or an unacceptable level of false positives.
I've had fairly good luck with autopilot. I also don't see many false negatives. Nor do people report false positives to me. (Granted, I tag at 5 and reject at 15.)
People who want to be malicious are usually less willing to do so if they know that they will be identified, so actually, it does help.
