You should be sending these questions to the "users" list since F18 has been released.  You are more than likely to get a better response then posting here. 

However......  While I don't currently have sendmail configured and/or using procmail, I don't think my system has any problem....

root     26947     1  0 07:27 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid -d -c -m5 -H
root     26948 26947  0 07:27 ?        00:00:00 spamd child
root     26949 26947  0 07:27 ?        00:00:00 spamd child

netstat -nap returns

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:783           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26947/spamd.pid -d

and....

spamc < test.eml   returns the message with the following headers added....

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on f18x
X-Spam-Level:

        SPF_PASS,T_DKIM_INVALID,T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD autolearn=unavailable version=3.3.2

additionally ....

[egreshko at f18x ~]$ telnet localhost 783

telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
helo
SPAMD/1.0 76 Bad header line: helo
Connection closed by foreign host.

Which is what I would expect...  With the following recorded in the maillog as expected....
