Do you have sendmail running on your local machine?  If so, the
simplest thing to do is to put a .forward file in your home directory
which contains the following line (including the quotes)

"| spamassassin || exit 75"

That's just how I'm using it with exactly your setup on a fairly
lightly loaded mailserver.  It's a bit more work to set up a daemon,
you don't gain a vast performance boost so I doubt it's worth the
bother unless you're running a very busy mailserver.  If you get it
going with a .forward file then you can play around with spamc later.

By the way, sendmail will be upset if the permissions are wrong on
your .forward file - it should be readable only by you.

Also by the way, I only downloaded SpamAssasin myself two days ago
so I'm no expert on it.  But it was a real breeze to get going (after
sorting out a couple of little bugs:) and it seems to work well.

73,
Ged.
