Robert, I really don't think that qmail-scanner can do that out-of-the-box.

You are going to have to hack qmail-scanner-queue.pl or use something like
procmail or maildrop to do the actual rejection, after spamassassin tags it.

I have just spent the last month setting up spamassassin.  I had been using
a stock qmail-scanner-queue.pl for virus scanning.  For spamassassin, I
butchered qmail- scanner-queue.pl to make it do just what I want (apologies
to Jason, your script rocks!).  I don't ever reject spam execpt in the case
of Rumplestiltskin attacks.  Now my end users, even the ones using just only
OutlookExpress have 3 levels of spam detection to filter on and they can
delete from the server (!!) based on 1 star (4.0 to 6.0); 2 stars (6.0 to
12.0); or 3 stars (above 12.0).  My users are absolutely thrilled with being
able to choose their level, and delete from server without downloading.
Rumplestiltskin attacks are shut down cold by adding IP addresses to
tcprules.   All this is done by my hacked version of qmail-scanner-queue.pl.

FWIW opinion:  the developers of SA are gods.   But they need to recognize a
few things and fix a few things for ISPs who are trying to configure things
on a site-wide basis and keep uneducated uses from botching settings.
First, they need multiple thresholds, like low, high and medium and let user
assign them scores.   Second, Subject line tagging.  *******SPAM********
and  the levels thing of 47 stars for a score of 47.0 is pretty worthless
too for people using Outlook Express.  The other problems deal with spamc.
The returned info bears little resemblence to the documentation in the case
of -R. (It would be great if -R worked as advertised!  Would have saved me
weeks of hacking on qmail-scanner-queue.pl)  This is just a case of spamc
being broken.  Also qmail-scanner-queue.pl only works properly with -c
unless you hack it.  And unfortunately -c (default) only returns a limited
amount of info.  And  -c when used by qmail-scanner-queue.pl breaks spamd in
the respect that it causes spamd's local.cf  to be ignored in most cases
such as add_header.
