Take a look at the readme in /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-2.55/ about half way down, look at the sa-learn options. I had a junk directory that I had been using filters to send spam into, using filters in sylpheed. I used the sa-learn --spam on this folder. I rerun that same command via cron every night, and anything missed gets manually moved to my /junk directory. I then did the sa-learn --nonspam options on the folders where I have friends, business notices, mailing lists, etc. I get about 50-75 spams per day, and spamassassin gets all but 2 or 3. I am going to subscribe to the free mail-abuse.org service mentioned in the readme.
