I typically run it as a filter on my messages via procmail.
So You don't really need to have your own MX.  

A good old fashion
fetchmail->localmta->procmail->SpamAssassin->inboxen works really
well.

Actually I am not sure how I would do it on my MX, I guess using the
sendmail milter interface (or equivalent for your preference in MTA)
would be just as effective.

But I highly recommend SA.  It has greatly reduced my spam intake.
