I use qmail-scanner, because it gives you the option of virus scanning as
well, but there are probably more efficient/elegant ways of doing this
now.  In short, you'll want to install in this order:

qmail (Maildir)
maildrop (or a procmail that understands Maildir)
qmail-queue patch (see qmail-scanner page for link)
Spamassassin
qmail-scanner.pl (be sure spamd is actually running before installing
  this, so it sees it during configure)

Then you'll need to figure out a strategy on how to deal with the spam
itself.  Bouncing it is no longer a viable option.  I divert it to a .Spam
folder in each user's Maildir which they can access via sqwebmail to check
for false positives, then have a modified version of a script somebody
posted here a while ago that runs every night to delete all messages in
the .Spam folders older than 5 days.

To keep your outgoing queue a sane size, you'll also want to make sure
that the .qmail-default for your domain has something like this:

|condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] grep "X-Spam-Status: Yes"
|bouncesaying "Sorry, that user does not exist"

where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a .qmail file with a comment (#) in it.
