I'm not sure I'm following you on this one... Mail does go through the same
path - i.e. it's going to the same user account on the same server. And as
for the other point, who else could be filtering for spam ? Definitely not
the spammer, right ? and on the server, all mail do go through the same
path. Mail gets delivered through procmail to spamassassin and based on the
header it's either moved to a spam folder or not.

Even if I am scanning it after someone else had scanned it, why would one
email message be processed once and other message twice ? it's the same
procmail, same server, same spamassassin installation, same user_prefs ....

I'm far from being an expert on SA, but could I make this suggestion to the
processing algorithm - if the email header does already contain a
X-Spam-Status and the score is higher than the newly calculated score, then
leave the highest of the two. This way, even if an email gets scanned twice
(or three times etc) - the score would still indicate the score of the
original message, which is normally higher.

Is there anybody else experiencing the same problem ?

that would be true if you only get mail going through the same path
all the time.  it's likely not you scanning twice, you're probably
scanning it after someone else scanned it.
