All it does is add headers to the message with a YES/NO value in the X-Spam-Flag header and details (including the actual score) in the X-SPAM-Status header. The message is treated as ham if the score is less than the the 'required_hits' parameter in local.cf (which defaults to 5.0) and spam if its equal or greater.
Also, it can optionally) alter the subject header to visually mark spam. You need something else downstream of SA that looks at the headers and discards or quarantines any messages marked as spam by SA. This could be third party code, like amavis, procmail and friends, or code written by yourself. If it is going to silently discard incoming spam then its your responsibility to put it in the mail delivery chain where it can't upset your MTA and/or trigger sending an unwanted rejection message to the sender when it discards a message. For example, if your mail volume is very low you could retrieve mail from your domain's mailbox at your ISP with 'getmail', run it past SA to mark it as ham or spam and then through something that quarantine spam and passes ham to an internal MTA for delivery to recipients on your LAN.
