Actually, SpamAssassinReport.txt is added by MIMEDefang.

If you want to drop spam, instead of flagging email as being spam, than 
you'll need to change your filter_end to look something like this:

    if ($Features{"SpamAssassin"}) {
       if (-s "./INPUTMSG" < 100*1024) {
          my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();
          if ($hits >= $req) {
             return action_bounce("Suspected spam - blocked");
           }
       }
    }

Insert this in filter_begin:

    $badwords = "(rolex|penis|viagra|etc)";
    if ($Subject =~ m/$badwords/i) {
        return action_bounce("F-words detected - blocked");
    }

Not sure if I understood what you wanted here.
