SpamAssassin won't 'stop' spam, that's not its job. All SA does is to
analyse incoming email (assuming of course that you've set things up
correctly so that incoming mail is passed through SA at some point - I'm
afraid I don't know how to do this with qmail as I'm a postfix man
myself) and sets some headers to say whether it thinks the mail is spam
or not. Unless you do something with those headers, you won't see a
reduction in spam. Personally, I'd suggest processing mail through
procmail after SA and adding a rule to delete (or put in a separate
folder) anything which SA marks as spam. There are hundreds of tutorials
on this - Googling for 'qmail spamassassin procmail' should get you
started.
