A lot of these documents and replies seem to be designed around me having SpamAssassin on my computer. Instead it is on my e-mail server.
Is there a place to look at to find out how someone who has a server based SpamAssassin can modify the whitelists, blacklists, and give SpamAssassin feedback about SPAM - from my own PC? Or for that matter, to test my user_prefs from my own PC?
I like it server based, as that means the messages don't hog my bandwidth, and can be deleted while I am on vacation for a week with my computer turned off. But it isn't obvious how to use it this way.
one word: SSH.
Seriously those, really those documents are oriented at it being installed on a server, but they're also oriented around you logging into the server for maintenance.
Some people have hacked together some tools so that they can do some maintanance remotely without logging in, but there's no comprehensive remote administration tool out there.
There's a webmin plugin out there, so if you like using webmin, this can help you do some things.. personally I despise webmin so I've never used it and can't vouch for how well it works.

Some people have set up automated scripts attached to various email accounts on their server to make certain tasks semi-automatic.. However, most of these are little home-brew tools to handle one or two things specific to their setup. Also if your spamassassin config is completely broken, you may not be able to send/receive mail at all and these kinds of tools won't do anything for you.
