Sheesh. Sorry to offend. As far as it goes, I'm a leech for using Spam Assassin right now as it is.
I'd be inclined to just make sure that Thunderbird's (your headers indicate you are using Thunderbird) adaptive filtering is turned on (which I don't think it is by default), mark mail as "Junk" and "Not Junk", as appropriate, and move on. Thunderbird's spam filter is (in my experience) more effective out of the box than SA, and requires almost zero technical knowledge to be effective. I do go to the trouble of making SA work well on my company's mail server because so many people get their mail on their phones. And the situation with spam filtering, or even setting up filtering rules, on phones is beyond depressing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent the time I have on SA (except that doing so has been interesting and educational, so I might have done it anyway).
Do note that right at the very first, Tbird's adaptive filter can be erratic. Be sure to check your Junk folder and sort your mail responsibly, and things straighten out pretty quickly. Oh, and make sure it's set to move mail marked as junk to the Junk folder.
