SpamAssassin available, and I've enabled it for my domain. Since

If you have procmail installed, you can do something like this fairly easily
using formail -- see its manpage for details. (assuming you using mbox
mailboxes)
If you're using maildir or something similar, it's even easier.
In both cases, I'd strongly recommend using spamc instead of spamassas

work right. Try an entry in /etc/hosts
