Note: I'm running 2.60. Haven't had the opportunity to get to 2.63. If that
changes things, then I will probably consider upgrading, but I'd prefer to
hold off until 3.0 comes out, because otherwise it's working really well for
our company.

I'm looking at Mailgraph - it's nice.

Ah - this looks like the rub to me. I've roamed through 'man spamassassin'
and 'man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' and don't find anything about logging for
SA. Well, sorta.

Here's what I found:

 -l filename, --log-to-mbox=filename
           Log all mail messages that pass through the filter, to an
mbox-for-
           mat file named by filename.  Handy for use with -r and -w.

Which is from the man page for SA, with nothing to be found in
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf. The above seems to indicate that the entire
message is saved to an mbox, which is cool, but it doesn't look like
anything is logged to /var/log/maillog (or anywhere else) indicating that SA
found a particular message to be a spam or a ham.
