Am using procmail.

Take a look at http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/antispam/ for a procmail SA ruleset that skips mail originating from localhost. If you need help generalizing that for your situation, contact me offlist.

Also, try to stop top-posting. Thanks.

I have been wanting to do something like that but haven't done the
legwork to figure it out.

I will certainly look up how to do this in sendmail.  Do you have any
suggestions?

We also need to know how you're gluing SA into your mailer chain.
Procmail? A milter of some sort?

My local root user sends me nightly emails with mail/spam statistics and information. Because of the spam information contained in the email, it sometimes flagged as spam itself.

I would suggest you look into MTA configs that will allow you to completely bypass SA on messages that originate from trusted hosts (e.g. localhost and your local network) and are destined for local recipients. Save the CPU cycles.
