As for the logging and SA not working, I found the problem: my logfile

Actually, sorry, this is something to do with postfix. I'll need to
rummage around there.
Ok, for the archives...
Postfix allows you to set a limit on the size of a mailbox. By default,
this is ~50MB. The problem is that this limit is set by essentially
doing a ulimit. So if your procmail is set to log, and the logfile
exceeds this limit, things stop working properly. Certainly one issue I
was seeing was that spamassassin wasn't being run.
The problem can be solved by either bumping up the size of
mailbox_size_limit in your postfix config, or using a limit at all by
setting it to 0.
But I am still wondering if procmail shouldn't fail more elegantly
here... like at least throwing a warning to stdout/stderr.
