We use exiscan and write $spam_report into the headers:

  warn	message = X-GLA-Spam-Score:  $spam_score ($spam_bar)\n\
  		  X-GLA-Spam-Report: $spam_report

SA's report is far too verbose by default, so our SA local.cf has:

  clear_report_template
  report _SUMMARY_

The result looks like:

X-GLA-Spam-Report:
        0.7 HTML_50_60             BODY: Message is 50% to 60% HTML
        0.3 DATE_IN_PAST_03_06     Date: is 3 to 6 hours before Received: date
        0.1 CLICK_BELOW            Asks you to click below

which finds its way into the rejectlog if the mail is rejected.  If you
want e.g. SA's _TESTS_ macro then use "report _TESTS_" instead.
