Q. How do I setup SpamAssassin for Postfix on my Fedora box?
A.
Install it. Like this:
# yum install spamassassin
Tweak the configuration.
Make a user for it to run as:
# useradd spamd
# chsh -s /sbin/nologin spamd
Modify the config file (/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin) so it runs as this user:
SPAMDOPTIONS="-u spamd -d -c -m5 -H"
^^^^^^^^ insert this
Make it run all the time:
# chkconfig --level 2345 spamassassin on
Start it:
# service spamassassin start
Now the SpamAssassin daemon is up and running.
Then there are a number of guide for hooking it into Postfix.
I liked this one the best:

because it is nice and simple.
