How about:
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| spamassassin

Do you have a ".procmailrc" file in the user's $HOME?

grep sendmail.cf for "spam", "proc" and "Mlocal" entries

You might find the SpamAssassin 2.4x set a little more stable, and keeping 
current with the sanitizer is always a good idea.

The older versions of SpamAssassin handled local mail delivery, that may be 
part of your problem.  Newer versions handle thing a little differently, 
though I don't know which version they made the switch.  There are some 
major differences in the 2.5 set and may not work with some Linux distro's 
and older versions, with out a lot of messing around with libs etc.

What makes you think SpamAssassin is running ahead of the Sanitizer rules, 
in the first place?

As apposed to chronological, inline posting.

Guess I should have included "with a meaningful subject" on that line.
