spam assassin install/test

["John F Davis" <johndavi@us.ibm.com>]

Hello

I did a apt-get install spamassassin and I edited /etc/default/spamassassin
so that it was enabled.  Then I ran the init script.  What else do I need
to do?  I'm running exim.  I sent myself
two test emails.  One containing three dollar signs in a row (to mimic
spam) and the other just plain text.  I received the plain email quickly,
but about an hour later, I received the "spam" message.  At first,
I thought spamassassin had worked and had deleted the test spam message.
Since it did not delete it, I must have not configured something.  What
would that part be?

For what its worth, I didn't do the part about configuring spam assassin to
run in .procmail.  I thought it you install spamd, it invokes spam assassin
globaly and there is notthing else to do.

What am I missing?

JD
