It can.  I have just added an extra test function "spam_assassin_is_spam()".
You can do what you like with the test, from adding a header to rejecting the
e-mail.

I've only played with it very briefly.  I have this in my filter file:

sub filter_begin {
    if (spam_assassin_is_spam()) {
        action_add_header("X-Spam-Warning", "SpamAssassin says this message is SPAM");
    }
}

I then get my mail client to highlight in red those messages with an
"X-Spam-Warning" header.

So far, all of the red messages have been SPAM, and no SPAM has made it
through without being marked in red.  Very promising so far. :-)

David.
