Do you use Sendmail? If so, you may have to configure it to expose the sender address. This information is in the USAGE file that comes with the Spamassassin install:
" - A very handy new feature is SPF support, which allows you to check that the message sender is permitted by their domain to send from the IP address used. This has the potential to greatly cut down on mail forgery. (see http://spf.pobox.com/ for more details.) However, sendmail will not expose the MAIL FROM: sender address by default. So if you're using sendmail, please add this to /etc/sendmail.cf :
H?l?X-Envelope-From: $f "

I happen to have the same problem as Eric where the self test fails on a brand new machine (SA, perl modules fresh installs and not upgraded from anything). As it happens I do use sendmail and will have to add the sendmail.cf change you mentioned, but is this actually needed for the self test to work? Unless the self test is broken, it would seem like something else is also going on.
