Not much to go on there...

Did the mail go through spamassassin?  Your logs will show if it
did.  If it didn't, logs will probably show why not.

Did spamassassin recognize it as spam?  The spamd logs will show
which tests fired.  Does spamassassin recognize the message as spam
if you test it manually?

You might be served better on a different list.  postfix-users can
help you if you're having trouble with the mail routing, the
spamassassin users list can help if SA isn't recognizing or marking
mail correctly.
