Matt,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Indeed you ask a very good question.
No the size of the message seems to not matter. When I turn on the
expanded logging I can see that the message is in fact "assigned" to the
spamc process.
Other ideas?

Question,
Are the "failed" messages > 256000 bytes in size?
If so, you procmail rules are bypassing the calls to spamc. Hence you see the
"first pass" message, but never a pass/fail message afterwards.

example of log when things are NOT working:
#######&&&&&&&& NEW MESSAGE &&&&&&&&&&#########
Wed Nov 9 01:06:05 MST 2005 *** going to vsnag.rc
Wed Nov 9 01:06:05 MST 2005 **** back from vsnag.rc
Wed Nov 9 01:06:05 MST 2005 ***** back from npd.rc
Wed Nov 9 01:06:05 MST 2005 CALLING RC.SPAM
FIRST PASS THROUGH SPAMC
*******************************************************
as you can see, when things are not working, the mail goes to spamc but
never comes out of the process. (never gets to LOG="FIRST PASS COMPLETED")
mail does however drop through to email box with no X-SPAM... headers.
Are you sure? It's possible you never get into spamc at all, since your log
"FIRST PASS THROUGH SPAMC" is unconditional, but your call to spamc might get
bypassed.
