SpamAssassin won't 'stop' spam, that's not its job. All SA
does is to
analyse incoming email (assuming of course that you've set
things up
correctly so that incoming mail is passed through SA at some
point - I'm
afraid I don't know how to do this with qmail as I'm a
postfix man
myself) and sets some headers to say whether it thinks the
mail is spam
or not. Unless you do something with those headers, you
won't see a
reduction in spam. Personally, I'd suggest processing mail
through
procmail after SA and adding a rule to delete (or put in a
separate
folder) anything which SA marks as spam. There are hundreds
of tutorials
on this - Googling for 'qmail spamassassin procmail' should
get you
started.

HAVE YOU ENABLED DCC, RAZOR & PYZOR ? YOU CAN ALSO USE
RULESDUJOUR ...
ALL THESE MECHANISMS HELP A LOT WHILE FIGHTING AGAINST
SPAM.
I HAVE A POSTFIX + SPAMASSASSIN + DCC + RAZOR +  PYZOR +
RULESDUJOUR CONFIGURATION,
AND SPAMS AREN'T A PROBLEM FOR ME !
MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE A LOOK AT [1] FOR A GOOD TUTORIAL ON
HOW TO USE THESE MECHANISMS.

Please elaborate why this should fix anything... Nah, there
is some
things to say about qmail, but certainly not w/ regard of
*getting*
spammed.
