Just to clarify these two answers for you...

There are two ways to run SpamAssassin.

If you run it as "spamassassin", it starts and runs the whole
Perl-based SA program for each email.  This is fine for small servers
with low traffic, but it can cause performance problems for higher
traffic situations.  It does have the advantage of being easy to
implement.

If you run it as "spamc", it only runs a small C script for each
email.  The main part runs as a daemon called "spamd".  You would
need to make sure this stays running.  The advantage of this is that
there is a much smaller overhead for each email.

For the Courier setup, I would recommend using maildrop and
.mailfilter as in the first example above.  Use maildrop as your
delivery service and put spamassassin (or spamc) as an xfilter.
Automatically moving suspected spam to it's own directory in the
Maildir can be done if you wish, but is not necessary.  SA will tag
the emails so that your mail client can sort them itself after they
are downloaded.
