*chuckle* Yeah, that'd do it all right.
It looks like spamassassion will not be invoked if email is larger than 25600 bytes.
Correct.

100KB is still rather small for an email with scannable attachments.
That seems to fix the problem. I also have a question: Do i really need to check for the size of email? Should I just remove the size check?
spamc also has a size limit; that you aren't specifying it means it's using its internal default. See the spamc documentation for what that is and how to set it.
You should probably have your procmail rule set to the same size limit as spamc is using, and make both explicit. That will minimize overhead for messages larger than the limit and make it clear what is going on.
The size limit is generally set to 400-500KB. If you have an underpowered MTA/SA box you might want to set it smaller to reduce scanning load. Also take into consideration whether what you set it to lets an unacceptable amount of large spams to get through.
