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.

HTH
