my procmailrc file contains just this:
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
DROPPRIVS=yes

:0fw
* < 500000
| /usr/bin/spamc

maybe those lines are the culprit. When newly installed I backed up the
original file procmailrc file and it contained just this:
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL

I've now edited the procmailrc file back to this original version so 
i'll keep and eye on the headers...
