The subject line is rewritten by the spamd daemon and not the spamass-milter 
program.

This is done using the "rewrite_header Subject" option found in the user_prefs 
file.

You will need to remove this option on the configuration for the upstream 
server or if the servers are sharing the same user configuration you will need 
to overwrite individual options on the upstream server by adding a 
"rewrite_header Subject" option to the global local.cf file.
