ok, I must be an idiot.. I've used Spamassassin to filter
my personal 
email for a year or so, and love it. I'm now trying to
setup Maia to do 
filtering for my work's email, and running into some
maia-newbie issues.

I have a new server with a fresh copy of Debian on it, with
Postfix and 
Maia installed, and have turned on spam filtering (tagging
only) for my 
entire domain (on a test server). When I manually telnet to
the Maia box 
and send in spam, it makes its way into my inbox, but
Maia's stats show no 
email received. I'm also not seeing an header-modifcations
(X-SPAM, etc) 
to any emails at all.

Do I have to do something special to my MTA (postfix) to get
it to 
actually use Maia?

Well, yes. You need to add addition things to Postfix's
main.cf and master.cf 
files in order to use any type of content filter.

For starters, try adding something along the lines of:
content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
... to your main.cf file.

And something like:
smtp-amavis unix -      -       n     -       2  smtp
    -o smtp_data_done_timeout=2400
    -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
    -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
    -o max_use=20
... to your master.cf file.

That is probably not all you'll want to do. But, check out
any Amavisd+Postfix 
setups you can find online. I'm not too sure about how much
information 
Maia-Mailguard has about the actual Postfix setup.
