Ok, at this point, I would debug spamassassin.

Take a spam and run it through it:

spamassassin -D -t < /tmp/msg
You should get output like this:
 pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
-0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS          SPF: HELO matches SPF record
-2.6 BAYES_00               BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1%
                            [score: 0.0000]
-1.5 GREYLIST_ISWHITE       The incoming server has been whitelisted for this receipient and sender

also, read all the debugging in the middle, and look for something like
this
debug: registering glue method for greylisting (Greylisting=HASH(0x90040d0))
debug: GREYLISTING: called function
debug: GREYLISTING: running greylisting on <20041220041009.GC6988 at thunk.org>, since score is too low (-2.6) and you configured greylisting to greylist anything under 11
debug: GREYLISTING: computed greylisting on tuplet, saved info in /var/spool/sa-exim/tuplets/199/184/165/blah at blah/bar at bar and whitelist status is 1
