spamassassin can do a good job as part of a multi layered spam defense.


Spamassassin can do an EXCELLENT job as the ONLY layer in a
spam defense EVEN on a pop-3 client such as Kmail.

Sanity check and grey listing at an smtp gateway (beyond the control
of the pop-3 user) are largely redundant, as virtually none of this
traffic passes a well tuned Spamassassin setup.
