SpamAssassin Bypassing Spam with SPF

[FFCus]

I've been seeing some spam messages come through that have no indication in the headers that SpamAssassin has checked the message.

The common theme here seems to be that the messages all contain an SPF header such as:

Received-SPF: pass (hotmail.com: domain of my@email-address.xxx designates 218.79.139.159 as permitted sender)

Does SpamAssassin give a green light to any message that has this record in the header? Any idea how to stop it if so?

Thanks in adavance -- I haven't been able to find anything on the SpamAssassin site yet.

I am having a hard time understanding how Spamassassin works. We have it installed but have no idea if its even working. I get porn spam all the time and it's getting annoying. What have you guys done to prevent this?
