Suspicious rcfile

Hi, I'm setting up a user with spamassassin but unable to get it working. The
following is from the maillog when I send a test message to user "green" 
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yes, I modified the permissons on the users home directory (more strict) and
SA/procmail began working.

This is not a SA question. Your problem is with procmail.

'man procmail', see DIAGNOSTICS, or just search for Suspicious.

In a nutshell: Your $HOME and .procmailrc permissions (and probably
owner) are borked and horribly insecure. Procmail refuses to use
receipts, that easily could have been compromised by other users.
