Spamassassin marks incoming email as spam but mail still hits inbox

My setup is Dovecot + Postfix + Spamassassin + Roundcube, on CentOS.
Works great. Using this setup since a long time. Incoming spam gets
flagged by Spamassassin too, but I don't know how to stop these emails
from hitting my inbox.

Can anyone tell me how to or point me to a link with instructions?

Spamassassin just adds headers to each email (and I think rejects them
over a certain score but I haven’t used it in a very long time).

You can filter them to spam by using Sieve in Dovecot or a filter in
your Mail client.

I use FDM for this. Appropriate parts of my ".fdm.conf":

    # Where the bad stuff goes.
    action "spam" mbox "%h/Mail/spam"

    # Some attachments indicate spam just by existing.
    $bad_ext = "*.xlsm"
    match attachment any-name "*.xlsm" action "spam"

    # Run through spamassassin if not too large.
    match size < 500K action rewrite "/usr/local/bin/spamc" continue

    # If spamassassin thinks it's spam then good enough for me.
    match "^X-Spam-Status: Yes" in headers action "spam"
