This is just an semi-educated guess - if I'm wrong, someone please correct me! Spamd setuid's to the user running spamc. Since you're calling spamc from a global procmailrc file, it's being run as root (most likely). If called as root, spamd won't open user_prefs files. >From the spamc man page:

Does SA do any scoring based on the combination of rules? Seems like this would be a good way to handle some of the mutations and "avoid SA" changes that some spams are using. Basically, add some extra small number of positive/negative points based on messages that include combinations of rules.
