Looking for newbie friendly Howto Debian 6 + spamassassin 3.3.1
As the subject says. Findings in Google are dated, talk about creating
lots of the config manually and seem wrong based on what I'm seeing on a
new installed system.

SpamAssassin configuration varies a lot depending on the partner
application in will run with (meaning the smtp server, antimalware and
any kind of proxy in between, like Amavisd-new).
In addition to this, you also need to deploy a strategy for SA, that is,
will it be run as a system-wide catch-up spam filter or based on a per-
site/per-user basis?
With these premises defined, you're ready to find your "newbie friendly
howto" :-)

I have Postfix on a machine that acts as a gateway and am thinking to
add Spamassassin to identify spam globally. I say "thinking" because
I'm not 100% sure I can add just SA? Lots of articles talk about amavis
but I'm not sure why that layer seems required. I don't plan to add
other features at this point.

For simple setups, you can avoid amavisd-new and use instead spamd, but
the latter has its drawbacks.
Amavisd-new is used as the "glue" when you run postfix+SA (or any other
anti-spam service)+clamAV (or any other antivirus service). For something
a bit more serious I would recommend running amavisd-new -it allows to
escalate to a more complex layout very easily- but you can also run spamd
+clamav plugin (and so no amavisd-new).
Anyway, I have both setups on production system (one running amavisd-new
and other with spamd), and they're both very easy to configure.

Copy and pasted the edits to the bottom of master.cf and restarted
Postfix but it returns:
127.0.0.1 port 10025: Address already in use (so I removed them)
So... I'm not asking to troubleshoot amavisd-new, postfix or
spamassassin... but I am still looking for current documentation for
Debian 6 + Spamassassin and now Amavisd-new so I can try them out on a
Squeeze system.

Good. Now you can follow with this:
/usr/share/doc/amavisd-new/README.postfix.html

Use spampd which should do exactly what you want.

Had found that and been reading.
Looks to be similar saying master.cf changes need to be done even
though services are already on those ports.

The first to do is is having a running Postfix, that is, that can
send/receive/route e-mails and deliver to your pop3/imap server.
Then you have to put Amavisd-new in between:
Postfix → Amavisd-new+SA+ClamAV → pop3/imap server
Okay, let me take a quick look into my postfix configuration for amavisd-
new... (note that I'm running lenny so YMMV).
1/ Postfix was un-chrooted (in Debian comes by default chrooted, IIRC)
4/ With that you will have to start seeing some errors in the Postfix
log, sure, because you will have to configure amavisd-new once
Postfix has been linked with it.
5/ And some additional links I had saved in my bookmarks:
They're not Debian-centric but the setup is pretty similar in all
distributions (it can vary one or two things, but the basics remain).
