I installed in on dozens of friends computers. But I had a bunch of issues with users that had a very high volume of e-mail. I went from using this to POPFile and while popfile is not 100% trouble free its much more reliable. As a previous user of Spamihilator I can say that its a pretty good program.

It also only runs as a proxy in local userspace instead of on a server filtering multiple workstations. It's a good little program but very limited in scope and ability. SpamAssassin can run as a 'spam server' filtering thousands of e-mail accounts or it can be installed as a windows proxy program like Spamihilator. It really depends on what your trying to do and what level of comfort you have with letting the spam get to your local computer before you bother to filter it. Personally I run several servers at home one of which is a Slack box running SpamAssassin to filter pop3 and imap accounts.

Spamihilator filters spam as good as a program can, I don´t see a reason to try out different ones if I already have a program thats really good.
