OK, you've got SA installed. Have you installed the prequistes (Net::DNS, berkely DB modules)?
If you're using MailScanner, then you'll have to turn spamassassin on in the MailScanner.conf file.
As to why is doesn't do all this automatically - well there are a thousand ways of doing email on *nix, and it would be very hard to cover all the options. So you do it manually.

Hi All,
I have beeing installed spamassassin-2.63 (tar distribution) on RedHat9.
I made these operations: 1. perl Mailfile.PL 2. make test 3. make install
And everything was going smooth. But after reboot I see that I don't have spamassassin process and in the mailog file I don't see that the spamassassin is working.
My question is: Do I need a dedicated service like I have for MailScanner or Sendmail ? If so, why the installation process didn't create it automatically ? And if I need this service how can I create it ?
Thanks a lot.
