Really? I didn't find it so; overall it took me about four hours, including RBL filtering via Spamhaus[1], and I haven't had to touch it in years.
Granted, I've done a lot of sysadmin work. But there are some really excellent howtos on setting up that stack, and I don't really see how adding a poorly documented Ruby API, witb what I found a frankly lousy web UI layer on top of it, does anything to simplify the task; you're better off, I think, spending that time on gaining facility with actually administering Postfix and Dovecot, than dealing with an API that's maybe helpful for a large multihost install but whose added complexity cost really isn't justified on any smaller scale.
[1] The Zen RBL is free to use as long as you make fewer than eighty thousand requests per day. I wholeheartedly recommend it; using it cut my spam to zero for years.
