How is SA invoked? Where is mail delivered? Does the user actually
have a home directory?

In a typical procmail-based setup, SA creates the .spamassassin
directory automatically. From the spamassassin(1) man page:

    The user preferences (such as scores to attach to each rule), are
    loaded from the file specified in the -p argument. If this is not
    specified, ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs is used if it exists.
    ""spamassassin"" will create this file if it does not exist, using
    user_prefs.template as a template. This file will be looked for
    in: /etc/spamassassin; /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin;
    /usr/share/spamassassin; /etc/spamassassin;
    /etc/mail/spamassassin; /usr/local/share/spamassassin;
    /usr/share/spamassassin.
