I'm on CentOS 6 (well, actually Amazon AMI which is sort of somewhere in 
between CentOS 6 and CentOS 7) and I find (3) to be the easiest option:

1) From EPEL, install "spamass-milter" and "spamass-milter-postfix" RPMs

2) Modify /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter to uncomment "EXTRA_FLAGS" and 
adjust spam threshold to your liking

3) Add following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf:

         smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/spamass-milter/postfix/sock

4) Make sure spamass-milter, postfix, etc. are running and set to start 
at boot, using chkconfig, service, and/or systemctl as appropriate.
