Probably uses procmail for that. In procmail I use headers inserted
by spambayes like this:
########### Feed it thru SPAMBAYES first ################
:0 fw:hamlock
| /usr/bin/sb_filter.py -f -d $HOME/.hammiedb
# then filter out spam and unsure stuff....
:0
* ^X-Spambayes-Classification: spam
$HOME/Mail/newspam
:0
* ^X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure
$HOME/Mail/unsure
which filters based on what the X-Spambayes-Classification: header says.
