    spamc is the client for spamd. It is actually very easy to use.
    Just start up your spamd (set it to be started by teh runlevels)

    Then put this in your .procmailrc:

    --<snip>--
    :0fw
    | spamc

    :0:
    * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
    .spam_mail/caughtspam
    --<snip>--

    This is what my .procmail file looks like.

    I did not have to change any of the default settings of spamd, it just
    works.

    I just teach spamasassin from time to time with any spam that it missed,
    by using the sa-learn. See the man page for it to see how to use it.
