As others have explained, just install the port and everything will be
taken care of automatically.  However, I recommend using bogofilter
instead of spamprobe; the latter has VERY high resource demands, and
takes a long time to process messages.  bogofilter uses similar
techniques, but without the resource bloat.  Once you get it trained
up, it works very well on personal email accounts (it catches over 95%
of my spam).
