You looked at the wrong place :-)
There are some readme files in "/usr/share/doc/packages/spamassassin/" you
should look at first before googling it.

No, because there are many ways to set it up, depending on how you get
your email.
If you are using procmail to sort your email then the procmailrc file is
a very good place to call SpamAssassin. For example I have at the start
of "/home/user/.procmailrc" these lines:
VERBOSE=off
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
:0 a:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$HOME/Mail/in_spam
That will run SpamAssassin client part, and move recognised spam to folder
'/home/youruser/Mail/in_spam' (in mbox format). Some prefer to set it up
as systemwide call (from /etc/procmailrc), but I prefer to do it as user
(the theory is that what a user considers spam another one might not). In
both cases you also need to have service "spamd" running.
Procmail is usually called from postfix or sendmail - there is a click box
in Yast that will do it. But some call it directly from "fetchmail".
There is also another way to call it directly from kmail - this has been
documented on this list several times, so I suppose you will be able to
find it. If you use kmail to retrieve your email you will certainly need
it.
This is Linux! You have many choices :-)
