SpamAssassin puts a heavy load on a server compared to most programs,
and letting users write their own rules can make that a lot a lot
heavier. Of course, if the ISP did a really good job of managing their
SpamAssassin, you probably wouldn't be asking.
Hosting provider policy is all over the map.
If you really have access to ~/.spamassassin, that's where users' custom
rules go, IF the ISP's installation uses users' ~./spamassassin folders.
If your ISP's policy is a hard and fast rule, though you risk getting
kicked off. Otherwise, you can just try it and see if it works.
I don't believe you can install SpamAssassin successfully in your home
directory. It would be a huge hack job to set up and maintain, and
certainly against your ISP's policy.
I agree with Wofgang. Install SpamAssassin on your desktop or setup
your own mailserver. I'm assuming you don't run Windows.
