If your email uses IMAP, and you have shell access to the mail server,
the best way to do it is to use procmail to invoke SpamAssassin
(http://www.spamassassin.org/) on your incoming mail.

If you are using POP, or don't have access to the IMAP server, you can
set up a filter to invoke /usr/bin/spamassassin -e on your incoming mail
messages and check the return code.  If the return code from
spamassassin is non-zero, then the action should be to move the message
into a Spam folder.

The filter would look something like:

If Criterion
"Pipe Message to Shell Command" "/usr/bin/spamassassin -e" "Does Not
Return" "0"

Then Action
"Move to Folder" "Spam"

Hope this helps...
