1) Fix the open HTTP POST proxy on your server 203.122.22.250 or have
the host's administrator do it. Open proxies are bad. Very bad.

2) Download and unpack SpamAssassin 2.61. Read the README and USAGE
files (see http://www.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/README and
http://www.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/USAGE) You may need to adjust
the default locale on Red Hat to avoid problems with perl (this is a
well-known problem with Perl, Red Hat, and UTF-8, not an SA problem.)

3) Install the prerequisite perl modules (DB_File, Net::DNS, etc.) then
build and install SpamAssassin. This should be fairly straightforward
(perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install)

4) Based on what you read in the README and USAGE docs (above), decide
whether you wish to call SA as a filter within your MTA (site-wide
installation) or if it should be called from the delivery agent
(per-user installation.)

5) Read the available FAQs and HOWTOs, (start with
http://www.spamassassin.org/doc.html) appropriate to your desired setup.
Check the mailing list archives at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general or
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=spamassassin-talk&r=1&w=2

6) When you have a specific question or problem that isn't answered in
the docs, the FAQ, or in the mailing list archive, feel free to ask on
[SATalk]

Note that most of your question is answered in the above resources.
People write documentation so they don't have to repeatedly answer the
same questions on a support mailing list. We want to help; that's why
there's copious documentation...
