This is not possible using the filters.

The point is, you can pipe a whole message including headers to another
program, but there is no way Evolution will retrieve the changed message
-- what SA does and what you are trying to check with the X-Spam-Flag:
header. You can only pay attention to the return value of the program.


Use the filter mentioned by Tim and Bram to check return value.

To use the X-Spam-*: headers more fine grained, you will need procmail
as Dan mentioned. Don't forget about fetchmail then... ;)
