Ah! Here's the rub.

This just passes email through the spamc filter for flagging.

You want to actually filter *after* this:

:0:
* X-Spam-Status:.\[Yes*\]
SPAM

Or something similar, to filter the spam out of the inbox.

Spamd should be running with the amavis user, whichever that is--usually
vscan (if running uvscan). To find out if it's even running:

(this is what I'd do on FreeBSD)
ps -awwux | grep spam

See if it's in the list. If not, then the daemon isn't running, and maybe
you should check to see what's going on with spamassassin.
