Also, kill the processes (apart from cron) and see what happens with /usr/sbin/anacron -s run from the command line. Observation: cron-spamassassin-rules does not appear to be a file which is in Debian. It also has the distinction of producing only one result when seached for with "cron-spamassassin-rules" on Google.
