Use the freeBSD toaster

Read the instructions.

There also is an active mailing list

The pkg-descr file in a port will often list a web page for the
application:

http://spamassassin.apache.org/

You can look for support options from there.

Or just do a web search.

Settings for applications are usually kept in /usr/local/etc or a
subdirectory of it. The port shows that p5-Mail-Spamassassin uses files
in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/. Looks like rules go in a
subdirectory called v320.pre.

You don't *need* to set up many settings for SpamAssassin.

When you do need to, look here:

but start with

Why is `advertising mail-toaster' an answer to a generic spamassassin
question? Especially since the guy who asked already *HAS* a working
mail-server, which doesn't necessarily use qmail.
