I was thinking about to use Spamassassin. It worth or just is the mostly
used?

This one I doesn´t heard about It, but when I see problems with
documentation then I´d rather not even try. :-/

Bogofilter... I read a little bit about, but I wasn´t able to choose for It.
It´s similar to spamassassin? It is easy to setup and manage?

Unless It is very recommended, I prefer only one engine. I belive It is easy
to fix problems and administering :-)

It is well documented and easy to setup? I intending to adopt It.
