Teaching spamassassin helps it become smarter about knowing what is
spam (bad) and what is ham (looks like spam but really isn't).

The command is sa-learn. If you run  man sa-learn it will show you the
instructions on how this works, but you should read up on how to load
up what's known as a corpus.  (google for sa-learn and corpus) Use a
corpus of your own spam for the best results. My spam doesnt' look
like your spam, so training your spam filter with my spam will be very
ineffective.
