-}Oh good, maybe I'm not alone in this. :)

Oh no you are not.  ;>  I am currently chasing the same problem.

We are running SA 2.55 site-wide and are seeing tons of these.  Most go 
though fine however some do not.  I can watch in the logs as the email is 
handed to SA then delivered to the destination system.  Only in these cases
nothing is logged by SA, all other times we see the normal SA logs on whether
or not the email was considered spam.

-}I didn't check the sizes on the mails that slipped through, although some of
-}them were just knockoffs I sent myself with a short body like "foo bar baz". 

Size seems immaterial.  I've seen this happen with 2k and 3k emails.

-}
-}Bob Apthorpe suggested that mails over a large limit (100K maybe) get
-}dropped. That's not the problem I'm facing, although now I'll know that if I
-}see a very large mail drop through unprocessed it's not a symptom of this
-}problem. Thanks.

What I've been able to find out so far is, at least for us, this problem only 
happens on emails that are in a certain priority range.  Emails that have a 
priority around 120k-125k, give or take, as reported by sendmail are affected.  
Emails with priorities outside that range are handled properly.  Whether the 
priority is a symptom, a side-effect or coincidence I have not yet determined.
