There are milters for SpamAssassin. You can set them to reject mail

BINGO That's exactly what I'm trying to do with spamass-milter.
However it either won't do it, or my configuration is incorrect. Mail
marked as spam is still being delivered as normal?
It's how the milter is started. This is my slightly edited
spamass-milter init.d
file.
---------start--------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# Init file for Spamassassin sendmail milter.

routes \
# email messages to spamassassin

The key line is up there with Socket.... Extra Flags. The
EXTRA_FLAGS="-r 10" line means that any email scoring 10 or above is
rejected. Set this to whatever level you feel comfortable with.
Personally after many years at this stuff... I think 10 is more accurate
than a human. Delivering spam scored between 5 and 10 is not so bad.
From the docs....
-r nn Reject scanned email if it greater than or equal to nn. If
-1, reject scanned email if SpamAssassin tags it as spam
(useful if you are also using the -u flag, and users have
changed their required_hits value).
My sendmail.mc entry
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock,
F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl
Have fun!
