We use maildrop to do this, so the .qmail file calls maildrop like this:

|preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop -w 90 /home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter

And the maildrop filter file above contains something like this:

$VDIR=`pwd`
# Call spamc if message is not too big:
if ( $SIZE < 196608 )
{
        xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamc -f -t 30 -d spamd.local -u $USERNAME@$USERHOST"
}
# File spam into Spam folder:
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
        to "$VDIR/Maildir/.Spam"
}

This assumes you already have a Spam folder - the full mailfilter file has 
some more code to check for the existance of a Spam folder (which Ive 
stripped out above) and create one if need be. We are running daemonized 
spamassassin across several servers so spamd.local is a "local" domain 
with DNS setup to do return answers that are weighted towards to dedicated 
spamd boxes.
