Mike:
The ***SPAM*** you are seeing is actually being INSERTED by SpamAssassin
(or, potentially SpamDyke). It is not there upon receipt (e.g.: the
spammer is not self-identifying the message as SPAM -- that's your SPAM
protection working for you!)
Most clients want SPAM to be /identified/, but not necessarily _BLOCKED
_(because of the potential for false positives). Thus, in my experience,
most will create a "rule" in their mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird,
etc) that moves messages with the string "***SPAM***" in the subject to
a "junk" or "spam" folder for later perusal.
I hope this is helpful...

For about two weeks now, I have been getting nailed with tons of
spam. I even had to drop my spamassassin score a point because so
much was getting through just under the threshold. I noticed that
some of the spam was getting through with "*****SPAM*****" in the
subject line. I have tried to filter it out with spamassassin's
subject filter, but asterisks are special characters and seem to be
hard to match.
Does anyone know how to match an asterisk with spamassassin or is
there a better way?
