I had actually looked through that, although I have to admit, it did 
leave me wondering.  I may be misinterpreting things here (quite 
probably), but my guess is if I was using that, I'd want to remove the 
calls already in the filter to spam_assassin_check, and do the check 
entirely myself, otherwise it'd be running the tests again?

Looking at the code flow, my guess would be that I'd call 
spam_assassin_check, which would return the status object for me, I 
could then query the values I'm looking for, then call 
status->finish().  Doing that stuff would replace the line 
my($hits....)=spam_assassin_check() in filter_end.

Hmm, that does seem a little easier now that I think about it more than 
changing mimedefang.pl
