This is under your control when you configured spamassassin to run on
your incoming email.  SpamAssassin itself is simply the mail scanner.
It only classifies messages.  The configuration of what email you send
into it is up to other additional software.

How did you configure it?

On Debian systems the most common way is to use procmail to send email
through spamassassin and then react to the results of the
classification.  But there are other possible ways to configure it
too.  In any case if you have configured it to classify incoming email
then it will classify incoming email because that is what it has been
configured to do.

Please tell us how you have configured spamassassin on your system.
