That's supposed to be the most efficient.

If you are using fetchmail/procmail that's the way to do it. If you are
using an ISP's POP (like I am), you can set up the filters in your mail
client. I've got it working in Kmail and Evolution. If you use either
of these, I can give you the filter criteria I used.

By default, Spamassassin tags mail, and you can then manipulate it
however you want. I run it through spamc with the -c parameter. If its
spam, it returns "1", and "0" if not. My filters shoot 1s into a spam
folder. Out of the box, very few false positives. You can fine tune it
by editing ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs. The user_prefs file has its own
man page. For a while I kept the file open in an editor while I check
my mail and adjusted my whitelists and blacklists.
I'm very please with it.
