You definitely don't need spamassassin.lock (and the trailing colon)
when calling spamc.  It won't *hurt* though.  I use this:

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc

But you need to make sure the spamd daemon is running.  If you installed
spamassassin by RPM, spamd is a normal service that can be controlled
with "service", "chkconfig", or the GUI program that configures
services.  (I think the service is named spamassassin, though, not
spamd, which is a little confusing.)

I like talking about spamassassin so you're welcome to keep asking!  :-)
