Dan, to be honest I am uncertain. Thats just how they have it written up
all over the Spamassassin site. Here it is from the FAQ on the SA site.

How do I use SpamAssassin with procmail?
The following procmail recipe will pre-process your mail through
SpamAssassin (one at a time), and if a mail is tagged as spam, will refile
it into a folder called "caughtspam" in your home directory.


        :0fw
        | spamassassin -P

        :0:
        * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
        caughtspam

spamc can be used instead of spamassassin, if you intend to install and use
the spamd server system-wide.

Read 'man procmailrc' and 'man procmailex' for futher details and
explanation.

There may be more documentation on 'why this is' but I am unsure of where
as yet.
