I don't have a problem with SA at all.  There are basically two reasons
why I haven't set it up.

1. I really haven't had the time to look at it and install it.
2. We really don't need it.  We really aren't receiving that many SPAMs
here.  I can't remember the last time that I had SPAM in my mailbox (6+
months).  Other people might get 1 or 2 a week if that.
