Pat:

In spamass-milter, what determines the default behaviour of the spam-tagged mail is the -r flag that you pass to it in the start script. If it's set to -1, it will bounce the spam-tagged email as soon as it tags it, with a nice 5.7.1 error. But if you want to keep it (e.g., quarantine it), you will have to put something like this in your procmailrc:

:0 H:
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
/var/spool/mail/quarantine

In this particular setup, I have an account, called "quarantine", to which avery spam tagged mail will be passed, if it gets a SA score between 5 and 15. Messages with a SA score over 15 will be automatically rejected, and messages below 5 will be accepted. The "5" treshold,as you know, is set by spamd start script, but the rejection treshold, as I said above, is controlled by the -r flag of the spamass-milter. So, you don't have to run SA twice as Cassandra says in her reply message.
Running SA from a milter has had a major impact on my server setup. The average per message processing time has lowered from 12-15 seconds when running it from the procmail to a flaming 2-3.5 seconds, and that's having in consideration that I have a crappy internet connection, so RBL and DCC lookups are slow. So, I wouldn't reccomend you to run it again from procmail, when you can do it from the Sendmail itself.
If any other doubts arise, fel free to ask
