I think I know what is going on here. The test that SpamAssassin uses to
recognise the nms formmail looks like this:

header __NMS_CGI_NOT_BUGGY      X-Mailer =~ /^NMS FormMail\.pl.*v\d/

This matches the X-Mailer header in an older version of nms formmail.
Unfortunately, the X-Mailer header seems to have chamged subtly in more
recent versions of formmmail into a format that no longer matches that
rule. For example, the header in the email that you sent me is

X-Mailer: NMS FormMail 3.09c1

This means that SpamAssassin thinks that the newest versions of nms
formmail are not nms versions.

I think that a quick fix would be to change line 3177 of your formmail
script to be

     name_and_version       => 'NMS FormMail.pl v3.09c1',

I've copied this email to the nms developers list so we can discuss
the problem and get a more permanent fix.
