If your jail is not chrooted at /, "/var/run/spamass-milter.sock" will
point to different locations inside and outside the jail, so you'll
have to use inet sockets to communicate.  

Actually if you have a single jail, you can configure the outer
processes to use /usr/myjail/var/run/spamass-milter.sock and the jailed
processes to use /var/run/spamass-milter.sock, but that won't work if
you have multiple jails.
 
The sendmail syntax is "inet:port@{hostname|ip-address}", so you can do
something like this in your .mc file:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=inet:2525@127.0.0.1, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl 

and then run spamass-milter with "-p inet:2525@127.0.0.1".
