/etc/procmailrc runs with root privileges. You should be careful what
you run there. You might wish to put "DROPPRIVS=yes" before any of
this.

Because of the lock file, if multiple deliveries are occurring at once,
only one of them will be able to run spamassassin at a time. This will
slow down mail delivery if you receive a lot of mail. It will also keep
your system load from shooting upwards when you receive a burst of mail.
You might want to consider using spamc/spamd, and running without a lock
file, if you want better performance and are confident that you do not
receive mail in bursts larger than your server can handle.
Note that messages larger than 256K will not be processed by
spamassassin due to the restriction shown.

This portion indicates that if spamassassin fails for any reason, the
mail will be BOUNCED back to the sender with a failure code. This is
NOT a good idea.

Messages tagged as spam will be saved in the folder "SPAM", but where
will that folder be placed? Normally folders are placed in $MAILDIR,
which by default is $HOME/Mail, but whose $HOME will be used? Since
/etc/procmailrc runs as root, my guess would be ~root/Mail, but you may
wish to do some testing to see if this is correct. It *might* be
storing the mail in each users $HOME/Mail/SPAM.
Storing mail where your users can't find it is a bad idea.

I'm not sure what you are asking here.
Do you mean that you sent a message from your server, whose From address
was a fake user, not actually found on that server? There is nothing to
prevent this from happening, though replies won't be received to such a
message. This has nothing to do with spamassassin, though...
