There's the problem -- simple isn't effective. I started my filtering
using flat-file lists of known bad senders. It worked sometimes but
not very well. It was too much effort trying to maintain that list as
well and sometimes an entry in the list didn't work at all. SA isn't
hard to install (at least on a debian system; the package works well
there) and doesn't require you to receive a spam first so that you can
blacklist the sender. It's a bit smarter than that.
HTH,
