No, read your "man syslog.conf". Instead of "mail" you can now specify
something like "local0". Read about syslog "facilities" and you will
understand.

Then continue using "Notify Senders = yes". The new bit is that you can
have "Notify Senders = local" so that it won't notify off-site senders, but
you don't have to use that feature if you don't want to.

The SpamAssassin reports are put in the SpamCheck header of each mail
message, inside "()" just after it says "SpamAssassin".
