To create instance of spamassasin PHP client, create new instance of Client class - this will use default params which should connect to local spamassasin:

use Spamassassin\Client;

$client = new Client();

Then validate if message is market by spam by checking $result variable of type Spamassassin\Result:

$result = $client->process($message);

The most important properties here are:

• isSpam - whether spamassasin marked message as unwanted
• score - received score
• threshold - required score to be marked as spam
