Russ has some good instructions on Installing SpamAssassin under Red Hat.

If you have more than one mail user on your machine, I would recommend using a global Vipul's Razor configuration. As Russ mentioned, you can follow the Installation Instructions, but only perform steps 1 thru 4.

To create a global configuration, issue the following command:

razor-admin -d -create -home=/etc/razor

There is no point registering a new identity as SpamAssassin does not actually do any reporting.

I would also highly suggest setting the debuglevel in /etc/razor/razor-agent.conf to 0 unless you want log files to be generated for all users.
