You may or may not need to start it as a service, that's up to you.
"spamd" just makes it run a little faster.

The man page should be sufficient to figure out the rest.

So these 3 commands are likely to work, without screwing anything up?

Does spamassassin take over the submission port without any editing of
sendmail.cf? (Most descriptions of spamassassin assume that you are
running procmail. I figured out a sendmail.cf 30 years ago, and have not
had to page all of that in for at least 20 years.)
