If I had to spend hours regularly maintaining it I would probably migrate it away, too. My setup has been working fine with minimal intervention for many years.

I got a Google Enterprise account, which you can associate with your own
domain.  Since day one,  its been virtually 100% SPAM free.   I used to
have to spend hours every couple of months
configuring/re-configuring/tweaking/testing the SPAM filters etc.  Since
this account setup, I've never spent a single minute worrying about spam
etc. and it's well worth the $50/user/year for me.   If you do a "dig
logical-approach.com <http://logical-approach.com> mx" you'll see the
email from this domain going to  Googles email servers.   And, if you
look at the DNS servers for the domain (dig logical-approach.com
<http://logical-approach.com> ns), you'll see that I'm running DNS using
  Amazon Web Services Route 53   ($0.50/month/domain).

Worth every $0.01 IMHO and highly recommended.

    Something to think about for a wintery night.  :)

    I am on so many lists that have gotten me so much spam that I need
    some help.  Even with all that gets bounced away, I can get 500-1000
    spams per day.

    Part of this whole arm adventure is to see how it performs.

        On a somewhat tangentially related note, do you really
        need to use spamassassin? I find I solved most of my
        spam problems by:
        1) Nolisting
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/__Nolisting
        <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolisting>
        I extend this approach (using iptables) to have primary
        _and secondary_ set to -j REJECT TCP connections, tertiary
        that accepts and works, and 1-3 after that with -j TARPIT.

        Downside - you need multiple IPs.

        2) Spamhaus RBLs

        3) clamav-milter

        This kept me almost completely spam free for years.
        Recently, I implemented an additional filter:

        4) uri-milter (no package - you'll have
        to compile it yourself)
        This filters based on URIs in the body of the email,
        and I only implemented it due to one particular type
        of spam that was getting past the other levels of
        filtering.

        clamav-milter and uri-milter are both implemented in
        C, i.e. they are fast and relatively lightweight,
        or at least as lightweight as anything that has to
        process the whole body of the email can be.

        You may find the above filtering stack is sufficient
        for your needs, and it will put a LOT less strain on
        your limited hardware than something as bloated and
        slow as spamassassin.
