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.
