Two points:
1) Current version of SA use X-Spam-Status: YES as opposed to that listed above.
2) Unless the mail is to be delivered to a program, you can drop the
pipe on the the delivery line (see below).
Also, depending on where mail is delivered normally on your system, you
can just redefine the DEFAULT, and/or MAILDIR variables and use relative
paths from those.
Also, if using Maildir type boxes, be sure to include a trailing
slash(/).
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: YES
/home/username/some/path/to/spam
or, for Maildir
/home/username/some/path/to/spam/
