You might try:

--start--

MAILDIR=$HOME/.Maildir
SPAMCUR=$HOME/.Maildir/.Spam/cur/

:0
* ^Subject: *SPAM*
$SPAMCUR

--end--

See if that works for you?  First off, procmail likes to use the
asterisk as a wildcard, so *SPAM* may also catch subjects such as
"I like SPAM too!".  Experiment with it, and you may also want to take a
look at Procmail's example helpfile via your favorite command line:
man procmailex

Hope that helps,
