The spamd protocol currently offers five modes: PROCESS, which returns the
full message with added headers, subject to report_safe; CHECK (spamc -c),
which just returns a yes/no response; SYMBOLS (spamc -y), which returns the
names of the rules hit; REPORT (spamc -R), which returns the report, as set
in the SpamAssassin configuration; and REPORT_IFSPAM (spamc -r) which returns
the report only if the message is considered spam. All except REPORT also
give the score and threshold.

It currently isn't possible to get the score, list of rules hit, and the
report in one call, except with REPORT. There is discussion about a new mode,
which would let the client add the headers according to the configuration.
