Consider altering your procmailrc:
##########################################
#Sample mods to your .procmailrc:

#Call SA:
:0fw
| spamassassin -t -P

#Dealing with known bug of F-dropping under certain conditions in
#  workin through stderror: Search and replace to resore "F" when
#  it is dropped from above:
:0 H
* ! ^From[ ]
* ^rom[ ]
{
  :0 fhw
  | sed -e 's/^rom /From /'
}

#Do the delivery/box thing based on filter for marked as spam:
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
