I run a very similar setup. You will need to implement a sendmail milter
to accomplish calling spamassassin prior to sendmail forwarding all
e-mail to your exchange server. (i.e. You are not calling procmail).
BTW: Don't forget to load the sendmail-devel rpm so that the milter libs
are loaded.

There are many sendmail milters available, but the most popular one for
spamassassin (and most powerful) is mimedefang. The one I use is
spamass-milter. FWIW: I configured spamassasin to simply add an
additional header to all e-mails (X-Spam-Status: Yes/No), not modify the
subject line. Then all Outlook users add one simple rule to test for the
existence of this header (Yes). If found, move the e-mail to the Deleted
Items folder. Works great!!!!

Anyway Checkout:
