You probably need "-i 127.0.0.1" on your spamass-milter commandline.
When both -r and -b are in use, spamass-milter has to manually generate
the spambucket message (because the milter API doesn't let you both
reject and deliver the same message :) .  This means that you have to
make sure mail generated by localhost isn't re-scanned.
