If you use the Webmin module to setup procmail globally to run 
SpamAssassin and direct spam to some different file, this processing 
will happen before individual users' procmail configurations are 
processed.

This may mess up individual users' SpamAssassin setups, unless they 
are all identical and have the same effect as whatever global 
configuration you put in space (such as delivering to ~/mail/spam).

Currently, the module does not worry about spamd/spamc at all - it 
just edits /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf , which should be used by 
spamd and the regular spamassassin command.
