2)how the greylist running? can greylist service automatic detect user spam or not like when email send 2-3 times , did it check and then clarify as a spam or not.

3) in centos it's true all spamassassin and clamav when update will automatically configure all email as spam or not by itself? no need to configure by ourself ?

Read the docs on Spamassasin.
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RunningSaUpdate

They cover pretty much everything you're asking.

You will get new versions of the SOFTWARE when CentOS updates it. If you've got automatic updates enabled, you'll then get it. ClamAV has a process that you have to run to get a new virus database. It's described in detail on their web docs, if you bothered to look:
