You use procmail which is run by sendmail by default. A sample
.procmailrc file in your home directory follows:

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/global/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILDIR =       $HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
LOGFILE =       $MAILDIR/procmail.log
LOCKFILE=       $HOME/.lockmail

INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc

:0
*^Subject:.*\[SPAM\] 
spamjunk

:0
*^To:.*fedora-list at redhat.com 
fedora

spamassassin has been  configured so it puts [SPAM} in the subject of the mail
identified as spam. You decide what you spam level has to be to
trigger this. Spam is placed in a mailbox called spamjunk in the Mail
directory. Just for additional functionality this .procmailrc file puts
all fedora mail in a fedora mailbox.
