It only knows about the fields that stock SpamAssassin generates.  What
happens internally is the incoming email is processed, then certain
headers are copied over from the processed copy into the copy sendmail
has.  I think you can just get away with something like this near the
top of the assassinate() function, where X-Spam-Flag and X-Spam-Status
are set:

string newstring;
newstring = retrieve_field(assassin->d().substr(0, eoh), string("AWL"));
smfi_addheader(ctx, header, (char *)(newstring.c_str()));
newstring = retrieve_field(assassin->d().substr(0, eoh), string("Bayes"));
smfi_addheader(ctx, header, (char *)(newstring.c_str()));

The reason for the extra code handling the other X-Spam headers is to
make sure that a spammer can't stuff fake values in.
