Sometimes spamc/spamd itself will refuse to scan a message, and return
it to procmail without adding the headers.  This could be due to large
size; huge messages are sometimes skipped because it can really bog-down
the pattern-matching within spamd.  I think there is a setting for this
in /etc/mail/spamassasin/local.cf, but a quick look through perldoc
Mail::SpamAssasin:Conf isn't revealing it, so maybe I'm hallucinating.

Also make sure you don't have any other settings that might be causing
the headers not to be set -- there are a lot of options on what to do
with the headers.
