I use spamassassin 2.63 on fedora core 2.
I have two problems :

1. Spamassassin does not flag all spam, although muy level is at 3. Sometimes he
doesn't even have ONE hit on a spam message !!!.

You're running a rather old version of SA, one which is vulnerable to a malformed message causing denial of service.

If you can't upgrade to 3.x, at minumum upgrade to 2.64.

As for accuracy:
        1) Consider installing Net::DNS so SA can query RBLs.
                (this is just done with CPAN, or a distribution package)
        2) Consider adding DCC or Razor
                http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/
                http://razor.sourceforge.net/

        3) if you're on 2.6x consider adding antidrug.cf (built in on 3.x)
                http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/antidrug.cf
                (just wget it into /etc/mail/spamassassin and restart spamd)
        4) if you're on 2.6x consider adding the surbl.org plugin (similar code built in on 3.x)
                http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamcopuri/
        5) if you can keep up on training, consider setting up bayes.

2. I want to move the spam messages to a specific folder, how to do that ?.

Procmail rules. See the example at:

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsedViaProcmail?action="">

Which moves mail to "

almost-certainly-spam" and
"probably-spam" mailboxes automaticaly.
