Do you use spamc? Was the message larger than the -s parameter to spamc (default 500k)? If yes to both, then spamc skipped scanning the message because it was too large. There are some large spams out there, but there are relatively few of them. On the other hand, there are lots of large nonspam mails (attachments), and scanning large messages consumes a lot of CPU and memory. You can raise your -s to make spamc feed larger messages to spamd, but be aware that this comes at a price of increased resource usage, so choose a balance that fits your traffic load.
