I have had to track a few of these down also. Some of the un-scanned
messages were over the size limit I had set similar to your recipe in
procmail. You can find this in the maillog file for that message. I
believe I tracked some others to spamassassin being restarted ( I think
at the time some changes to the local.cf file were being made, new
whitelist entries). During the time it was being restarted a number of
messages managed to slip by without being tagged. Again I found
evidence of this in the log file.
More recently I had a few messages get by my greylist milter which were
subsequently caught by spamassassin. That problem appears to be when
the system is under load the milter would timeout and the message would
fall through. Solution there was to increase the timeouts for the
milter in the sendmail.mc file.
