I assume you mean that you want to run SA as a local mail filter
with KMail. This is how I run SA, and it's easy, but it took a bit
of googling to get the answer. It slows down the mail pull a bit,
as SA has to open a Perl session for every email that didn't get
nabbed by another filter. And SA doesn't have the greatest positive
hit rate, you'll still get one or two spams in your main box. But
it's does a pretty good job for the price and can be trained...

Visit (beware the evil wordwrap...): under Anti-Spam Tools
<www.linuxchix.org/pipermail/techtalk/2002-October/013620.html> and
<http://www.softwaredesign.co.uk/Information.SpamFilters.html> in
even more detail. There's also a nice article in the Dec 03 issue
of Linux Magazine on installing and using SA.
