It's fairly comprehensive with fairly low maintenance.  See http:assp.sourceforge.net and my howto at http://www.sonoracomm.com/sonoracomm/pdf/ASSP_HOWTO.pdf.  It's nearing version 1.0 and has had a LOT of work on it lately.

You might want to look at Darrell May's DSBL contrib at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/mitel/contrib/dsbl/.  This is a far simpler tool that's super-easy to install and cuts out a good chunk of your spam.

Good question.  ASSP has its own web configuration page with pretty fair help.  I guess it would be nice to integrate it with SME Server-Manager, but...

DSBL needs no integration.

It's not actually Darrell's contrib - it's mine, repackaged (I'm not sure why) by Darrell.
