And that is the way to do it.  Be sure to setup filter rules for your mailing 
lists in Kmail, and have them placed before the SpamAssassin rule so that SA 
won't check them. After that, you should be good to go, but again, I'll 
mention backhair.cf (copied into /etc/mail/spamassassin).  Also, adding the 
following two rules into /home/your_user/.spamassassin/user_prefs is an 
extremely good move, I think, because it really does catch a lot of the 
"sneaky" spams that would otherwise get through.  As I mentioned in another 
post, I have my score set at 4.0, and I've only had one false positive since 
November.   That low of a score may be a bit radical for anyone else, but it 
works for me.  I'd also like to give a special thanks to Derek Jennings: 
http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=15 
for his Bayes rules example, which is what I use in my own /user_prefs as 
well, plus I've added these two lines:

score HTML_10_20        2.0
score HTML_20_30        2.2

I'm hoping all this is of help,
