Please - some being missed?

I can't seem to get any help on this problem.  I get email forwarded from
another off-site server.  That server is apparently running SA.  Some, but
not all, of these emails are not evaluated at all by my server's SA.  I have
examples of some that get my SA's headers added to those from the other
server's SA, and also examples like the one below where it apparently wasn't
evaluated by my SA at all.  This is driving me crazy - Why are some getting
through and not others?  (Obviously the other server's SA has no knowledge
of MRWIGGLY etc!  Thanks - John

OK, thanks - That must be it.  I am using an old Gateway at this time -
P100, 48K RAM etc.  This was setup with FC1 for testing - new server
expected next week!  Actually, it works amazingly well, all things
considered!  I love SA!  - John

I've noticed here (where we have a very old and slow machine to run SA on)
that every now and then something will seemingly decide that SA isn't
keeping up, and will simply bypass the SA process on a message.  I also see
this happen if I'm running SA manually on a test item to check out new
rules, and new mail arrives at the same time.

Loren's tip about a low system is likely to be it, but might it also be 
caused by procmail rules you have that are based on SA headers? You 
might try either removing the previous server's SA markup by feeding all 
messags through spamassassin --remove-markup (since you don't seem to 
trust it), or re-name the headers their server inserts using formail.

Unless it's an issue like that, I'd turn on verbose, debug and watch the 
logs!
