Yup, SpamAssassin (http://useast.spamassassin.org/index.html)  The flag 
you mention in spamassassin is X-Spam-Flag: YES
The Yes is determined by a hit count like so...
	X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=2.0 required=1.5 		
	tests=MIME_SUSPECT_NAME,WEIRD_PORT
         autolearn=no version=2.60
OR
	X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.3 required=1.5 tests=CLICK_BELOW,
         HTML_FONTCOLOR_BLUE,HTML_FONTCOLOR_RED,HTML_MESSAGE,
         MAILTO_TO_SPAM_ADDR autolearn=no version=2.60
You can use various methods to utilize it in a system wide setting or 
just let users use procmail rules to set their own up (mine has a very 
high threshold, 1.5 hits, so I send all mail to a directory to glance at 
later, have gotten a few false positives - not too many).
