this is not spamassassin's job.
It's job of mail delivery agent - procmail, maildrop, sieve

dovecot (imap/pop3 server) has plugins that support training of spam/ham,
if you move the mail from/to spam folder.

I don't have lysdexia. The Dog wouldn't allow that.

Anyone know how I can check and setup SpamAssassin so that I can
eliminate some spam from coming in from a email account ?

You can create rule something like this

header BLOCK_EMAIL From:addr =~ /user\@domain\.com/
describe BLOCK_EMAIL Block email
score BLOCK_EMAIL 5.00

Microsoft dick is soft to do no harm

Can you ban this user in whatever your equivalent of the access file is so instead of putting the messages into a spam folder, you reject messages from that address at delivery time (SMTP)?

That comment was a recommendation of how you can achieve what you want to.

SpamAssassin cannot block or eliminate spam. It does not have the facilities to do that. SA can only score potential spam.

Whatever method you used to glue SA into your mail path needs to parse the score SA assigned in the returned mail, and do whatever routing it thinks is appropriate.

We do not know what glue you are using to put SA into your mail path, so it is hard to give suggestions on how to set that unknown software up. With more details of your setup we may be able to help.

We can suggest rules to assign a score to mail if it comes from a particular account. But something other than SA will then have to deal with that score and do the routing.

Yes, the comment I quoted below. He is suggesting how you can deal with this
problematic user you want to "eliminate spam coming in from".
