You need to look in spamd.

  # It might be a CHECK message, meaning that we should just check
  # if it's spam or not, then return the appropriate response.
  # If we get the PROCESS command, the client is going to send a
  # message that we need to filter.

i.e. CHECK  corresponds to the -c, --check option to spamc, PROCESS
allows spamd to modify the email and and send the whole thing back to
the client.
