You could call it again from a procmail script for tagging (not rejection
of spam, for per user configurations.)
This is what I do.

sample procmailrc script:
########
#don't run spamc on messages over 256.
* < 256000

#man spamc to see switches
#sort the spam using spamc
:0fw: $HOME/spamassassin.lock
| /usr/bin/spamc -f  -p 7070
#| /usr/bin/spamc -U /tmp/spamd.sock

#this looks at the exit code generated by spamc
#looking at exit codes is good!
:0 e
{
  EXITCODE=$?
}
########
