A quick search on Google found that there are several GUI front-ends and wizards for the Windows version of Spamassassin, which would streamline the installation considerably. Are there any such GUI environments for Linux? Or are we still confined to arcane editing of configuration files?
The "windows version" of SpamAssassin (originaly called SpamAssassin Pro, now owned by McAfee) is a completely separate product. Although it shares some common heritage in origin, it's a commercial software product and really bears little resemblance to the open-source Perl based SpamAssassin.
I don't know of any GUI setup tools for SpamAssassin (as opposed to the windows product formerly known as SpamAssassin pro).
Really the most of the initial complexity of "configuring spamassassin" doesn't really have anything to do with configuring spamassassin at all. It's configuring a mailer or other tool to actually call SA. Since by itself SA is merely a generic mail filter, there's dozens of different ways to go about it.
Also since SpamAssassin is really targeted at mail server side installation, a lot of the docs are oriented at server side install and tend to assume you're already well versed in mailservers. After all, if you can't run a mailserver in the first place, you won't have a chance of integrating SA into one.
There is a whole class of single-user oriented non-server style setups. People call it directly from kmail or use fetchmail with procmail, etc. However, since 90% or more of SA setups are on server side setups, these types of setups aren't as well documented.
