Same here: I would like to implement SpamAssassin in Amavisd-new too, but
only if I could add headers for certain spam-thresholds.

Another sollution would be to make a small maildrop-filter that adds
header-information after it has passed Amavisd-new, though this still would
prevent Courier from adding Spam-headers to messages that are being
forwarded relayed to another mx / mail-account. My main concern with using
submit / sendmail would be that Courier may add extra Received-headers.

Same here.
