That depends on what MTA software you are using. If it's sendmail,
then there are several choices. The mail/spamass-milter is probably
the least complicated to use, as it's purely about integrating
SpamAssassin and sendmail. There's also several integrated Anti-Virus
and Anti-Spam setups that can use SpamAssassin internally, such as
mail/mailscanner.
Another alternative is to invoke spamassassin from the delivery agent
-- in that case, I'd recommend installing mail/procmail and using that
as your default MDA -- in sendmail that's done by including
'FEATURE(local_procmail)' into the .mc file -- and then write yourself
a .procmailrc file that feeds messages into spamc for spam checking.
Cheers,
Matthew
