The spamd daemon logs as mail as configured in the source distribution,
but a packager (e.g. Debian) may modify that. If you are using something
else to call Spamassassin, e.g. Amavis, MIMEDefang, etc., that other
software controls the logging.

If you're running spamd, the facility is set with the "-s" option, as
documented in the man page.
