What i need is a software very stable and not difficult to administrate.. .
It seems to me that Spamassassin and Mailscanner address two slightly different problems - spam and email-borne viruses, respectively. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong about Mailscanner, which I don't use.) They're both free(*), so why not install them both?
(* Mailscanner is free for some, licensed for others - you don't say what your situation is, so I don't know if it's free for you.)
Steve Bassi has made a .pkg for Mailscanner and has also posted a step-by-step Spamassassin install notes (which have also been extensively annotated by other list members) to this list. Search the archives (URL in the footer of this message) for those instructions.
See <http://bluebird.sinauer.com/~morse/cobalt/> for some discussion about securing Cobalts against spam and email-borne viruses.
