Interesting link, Josep.

"SpamAssassin was featured on Good Morning America on April 1st, 2002
(not kidding!). Unfortunately, GMA did not point out that SpamAssassin
is targeted at Unix users, or Internet Service Providers, and is not
currently suitable for home users to install on Windows. Please do point
your ISP to this resource if you would like them to start using
SpamAssassin."

Looks like these two programs attack spam in two entirely different
ways, and the Spam Killer could be used to combat from a Windows
end-user what slipped past the Spamassasin at the ISP...
