The server has a mailman installation on it. I am trying to configure SPAM protection. I have Spamassassin installed and enabled on the server

What I am having difficulty with is finding documentation on interfacing with the Spamassassin installation via the Plesk control panel. There are some minor settings under SPAM filtering, however I cannot figure out where the messages would go if they are tagged as SPAM or any sort of approval que.

Spamassassin doesn't do that. See <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.3/README>.

SpamAssassin adds headers to the message and possibly tags the Subject:

Examples of added headers are

X-Spam-Status: Yes X-Spam-Level: ******

Within Mailman, you can use header_filter_rules to detect and act on these headers. For example, to discard messages with SA scores >= 10 and hold the remaing messages with scores >=5, you would use a rule with regexp

^x-spam-level:\s*\*{10,}

and action Discard, and a rule with regexp

^x-spam-level:\s*\*{5,9}(\s|$)

and action Hold.
