No. Here's how the mail flow works: 1) During the DATA phase of the SMTP conversation, the mail is scanned by MIMEDefang. If you happen to call SpamAssassin from MIMEDefang, then the mail gets scanned by SpamAssassin. 2) AFTER Sendmail concludes the SMTP conversation (by replying to the final "." with a 2xx SMTP reply code), the mail gets handed over to the delivery agent. In your case, that's procmail. 3) The spamc line in .procmailrc calls SpamAssassin *again*, but this time as you (not the defang user) and after MIMEDefang has utterly finished with the message. 4) When the spamc command returns (possibly having altered the mail), procmail drops it into your INBOX.
