| INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock,

|
| Apart from that, spamass-milter is running with the following command:
| spamass-milter -p /var/run/spamass.sock -f -b spam@xxxxxxxx
|
| And spamd is ran like this:
| /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -a -s local6 -u spam
|

| Hope this sheds some more light on my situation.

You need to tell spamass-milter to ignore locally generated mail:
spamass-milter -p /var/run/spamass.sock -f -b spam@xxxxxxxx -i 127.0.0.1
You may wish to add other network addresses as a list following "-i", e.g.,
~ -i 127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/8
