Have you taken a look at the X-Spam-Status: header?

I am assuming you are processing spamassassin before you tell sendmail to
deliver.  I use qmail so I can't really tell you how to make sure.  

At any rate:

Otherwise go to /etc/spamassassin and edit the local.cf file and change the
subject tag to what you want.  If you change the required hits in this file
it will set it for the entire system.

Otherwise, just get the spamassassin webmin, it works really slick for
administration.  You do have to point it at your spamassassin install, ie,
/etc/spamassassin/spamassassin

Note that there is a difference between the different levels. At the first 
level, messages get the SPAM score in the header, at the second they get the 
spam header and _optionally_ a modified subject. At the third level, they are 
dropped.

If you've set up your first level to 1 you should see a header like this:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=1.0 tagged_above=0.4 required=1.0 tests=NO_COST

This means that the message had a score of 1. As you can see, I add the score 
in the headers at 0.4 (level 1), at 1 messages are markes as spam (level 2).

Note that these settings are rather strict, so you may not want to take them 
as example :)
