Easy. Just run Tools/Anti-Spam Wizard after uploading SA.
Next I hope you have a bunch of spam emails around so you can run something 
like this daily (I dropped it into a script, and run it from cron nightly so 
it learns the good from the bad):

#! /bin/bash
echo "SpamPile";
sa-learn --spam /home/robbo/Mail/SpamPile/cur/;
echo "Ads";
sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Ads/cur/;
echo "Computer";
sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Computer/cur/;
echo "Home";
sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Home/cur;
echo "Fishing";
sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Fishing/cur
echo "Listservers";
sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Listservers/cur

#EOF
 But you want to run the first line 
(sa-learn --spam /home/robbo/Mail/SpamPile/cur/) on a big "corpus" of spam to 
teach SA what you consider spam to be. And do first set up that line and all 
the others to be for your system.

I have Kmail put all spam into a folder called SpamPile, any it misses go 
there too. All the ads I recieve (and I asked for) go into the Ads folder, 
and this is scanned to learn Non-Spam aka Ham. And I scan multiple folders 
for Ham to allow it to know good emails from bad.

Don't expect it to run great immediately, it needs to learn for awhile. If you 
recieve a low volume of mail, you may want to try using Razor with SA, it 
will bat 100% right out the door, but it takes a good bit more time to 
process each email, and it slows down all of Kmail during the scan.

If you have the Universe repository set up you will get it with that line.
