Yes, however that is not necessarily the same as having them processed by
MailScanner (which then callsSpamAssassin).

Try this:

Change the "Spam Subject Text" entry in MailScanner.conf to something such as
"{Spam}" (mixed case instead of all upper case) - any change will do really -
we just want to make sure that the subject line is getting changed by
MailScanner, and not by SpamAssassin getting hold of the mails directly in
some way.

Make that change (restart MailScanner), shovel another spam mail through the
system, and tell us what the client tells you the subject line is.
