You just surely need to configure a SpamAssassin installation to use the
same options as your MailScanner config uses when talking to SpamAssassin.
You could even set up a script run via an account with a ".forward" file,
so that it took the message, ran it through spamassassin -t and then
replied with the report.

It's not quite as easy as that...
