All that SA does is add headers to the email stating whether it is spam or
not. You still need to get procmail to do something with that
information.

All email delivered to you IS being run by SA and SA IS marking it as
spam. It is marked as spam by adding something like this to the header:
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.4 required=5.0
tests=ALL_CONSONANTS,FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS,HTTP_USERNAME_USED,
The flag is in the headers, not in the subject line.
What you probably want to do is get procmail to divert all emails with
this flag to a sepparate folder. Your ~/.procmailrc could look something
like this:
# First pass the email through SA:
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin
# If it's spam, send it to the spam folder.
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spam
Hope that helps.
