Two things:
Use a colon to separate the user and group names. A dot should still
work, but it's deprecated nowadays.
Seems that you need at least one of the 'size' or 'when' fields to be
other than '*'. If you really want the file to be recycled every hour
(which is how frequently newsyslog runs by default), try:
/home3/jo/mail/SPAM jo:admin 600 3 * 1 B
Cheers,
Matthew
