Well, Solaris doesn't install the milter libraries, so you'll have to
get that installed first.

http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/sendmail_solaris.html
and
http://www.ravantivirus.com/kb/viewarticle.php?ano=1160

both walk you through installing the latest sendmail.  The first link
will get you a kitchen-sink build with SSL support, and the second
gives you a more minimal one.

Add the two macro lines in the spamass-milter README to your .mc file,
then generate and install sendmail.cf.  Then start spamass-milter,
and you should be set.  You'll also need to get spamassassin installed,
of course :)

You've got quite a bit of leeway as far as what to do with tagged spam. 
The default is to process/tag mail just the way spamassassin does, but
you can also redirect or bounce tagged spam if you want.
