Default SpamAssassin Not working

Just setup a Postfix mail server and I am getting spammed out of existance! Spamassassin is installed and I thought working, but I still get SPAM. Anyone know a way to make 100% sure Spamassassin is working right?

Spamassassin comes with sample-spam.txt and sample-nonspam.txt - guess what these are? Send them to yourself and make sure spamassassin picks them up as spam / ham.

You will see some spam as SA is not 100% effective. You can get a head-start by running sa-learn against all of your current ham and spam (if you keep your spam).

Ps: if you've not already done so, configure SA to use 'spamc' rather than 'spamassassin'. Piping spam to a daemonised SA uses far fewer resources than calling SA for every mail.
