When Spamassassin returns it's scores, where are you pulling the data from?  Is it in the header from X-Spam-Status:  returned from Spamassassin
 
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00 shortcircuit=no autolearn=unavailable version=3.2.5
or in the body somewhere?

Absolutely correct. You don't want the inefficiency of always generating 
the report, which involves always running SA, so don't be surprised when 
you don't get the report.

Don't think so.
