Anything called after SpamChecks will have access to this. If you have a 
look in /usr/sbin/MailScanner for the WorkForHours function, in there 
you will find the message batch loop. Once the spam checks have been 
done, you'll see where the code goes next, and hence what will have the 
spamreport in it.
