Too many dashes. Try su -c /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin start
Note no quotes, and you want start, not stop.

On Debian, you have to edit a file called /etc/defaults/spamassassin, and
enable the daemon loading that way. If you don't, the daemon (think NT
Service) starting script runs, but doesn't load spamd. Dunno if RedHat works
the same, but you should try checking that.
