Turning on Check SA If on Spam list directive.. (For bayes)

1. We mark messages that are blacklisted as High Scoring. (So we can
change the subject to reflect it failed Spam Checks due to Black Listing)
2. Anything that is under high scoring that is over 7.0, the subject gets
changed to indicate it's Spam that failed because of analasys of the
message content.

In our enviornment 95% of the Spam that hits our gateways are coming from
Black Listed sources.

We currently have set:

Spam Lists To Reach High Score = 1

So 95% of our Spam never gets processed by Spam Assasin (Which I would
like so that it can help the bayes DB train better for the Spam that comes
in through non black listed sources)

My question is if I set:

Check SpamAssassin If On Spam List = from no to yes

Will it no longer have the "High Scoring" functinality applied to it that
Mail Scanner currently does in our enviornment? (Different changed subject
line indicating that it's Black Listed)

I would like to have Spam Assassin process these so that they get applied
to the bayes DB, but still have the subject line changed as I currently do
to indicate it's from a black listed source.

We forward ALL spam through our email gateway, then the clients have rules
to push the messages into a local Spam folder they can look through.

Thanks
