I've installed Spam Assassin and MIMEDefang with Sendmail however I
would like Spam Assassin to tell sendmail to "Reject" Spam on the
connection.


1) SpamAssassin cannot detect spam until it has received and analyzed
   the FULL message, so rejecting on connection is not possible.

It is possible to reject during the connection during the DATA phase. Using exim and sa-exim glue, with spamassassin, this is what I do. The sender gets a 5xx rejection with the message: UCE not allowed. I have the score set ridiculously high so that only very egregious spam gets rejected this way, in order to avoid rejection of false positives. I also have an sa-exim based greylist running with spamassassin at connection time.

2) that is phylosophy of SA to only MARK the spam.
