This distribution includes the spamd/spamc components which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.
To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add this line to your ~/.procmailrc:
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc (creating if necessary).
