$f is the envelope sender (from) address. I'm just using the default
procmail settings, from cf/README

Yes. User configs work fine. The files under /etc/mail/spamassassin/ are
still used, then the user configs are applied.

I'm not a sendmail guru, but I think that procmail is run suid from
sendmail when it's used as the local delivery agent.

That sounds like the correct behavior. All the default rules are stored
in one location, then user specific changes in ~/.spamassassin. Get rid
of the global configs if you don't want them to do anything.
