Your recipe only shows one message going through procmail and
being stopped. Where is the second copy being generated? It's
not coming from the procmail recipe you showed us.

$HOME/Trash
The regex is flawed and doing more than you think. It is
stuffing into Trash any mail with "spa" in the Subject.
E.g., "Subject: Spanish is my native language" would be
stopped. The culprit: the question mark. It means "one
or zore instances of the char that comes immediately before."
You want a real question mark, not a regex char. You need
to quote the question mark to avoid false positives.
Also, even if you quote the question mark, the recipe is
not robust enough: People writing back about alleged spam that
was blocked will have *their* messages blocked.
I would suggest:
SPACE = ' '
TAB = ' '
WS = "SPACE$TAB"
TRASH = $HOME/Trash
:0:
* $ ^Subject:[$WS]*{Spam[?]}
$TRASH
