How can I know the Spamassassin is up and running and do what I want to

against spam? Thank you so much for your assistance.

You could temporarily set

 required_hits -99.00

in your SA user_prefs file. This way pretty much everything will
be SA tagged so you can be sure that SA is working. After you
test that, set it back to whatever you want required_hits to be
and then use pine to bounce (B) a spam message to that system and
see if it is handled the way you expect. Note that the process of
bouncing (redirecting) a spam message will probaly lower its spam
score because SA will see that it was routed by someone (you)
who's not a known bad guy.

HTH,
