That does not work.  Part of the SpamAssassin Bayesian filter bit works 
on the headers.  If you forward, you no longer have the headers.  I 
asked this very question this past summer in the SpamAssassin list and 
got a good explanation of why that doesn't work.  You can go to their 
list and check any archives for a good explanation of how it works.

I use the "exim" MTA with a thing called SA-exim which is a local 
filter for exim that hands off to the spamd spamassassin daemon.  This 
is for system wide filtering.
