Can you explain why you'd use milter over spamassassin? Genuinely interested as we could certainly get better spam filtering...

Do yourself a favour and use a milter instead of piping each single mail
through spamassassin.
http://pkgs.org/centos-6/epel-x86_64/spamass-milter-0.3.2-3.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
Then add something like
smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/spamass-milter/postfix/sock
inet:127.0.0.1:8891
non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters
milter_default_action = accept
to your Postfix' main.cf and configure the milter flags in
/etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter.
