This might be a better question for the SpamAssassin Users list but I
can help anyway. Please post an example with minimal redacting to
pastebin.com and send us a link. There are about a dozen or two things
that that can be tuned in SpamAssassin but I have a feeling that you can
use the Message-ID header to determine spoofed inbound messages.
