If you have set "Use SpamAssassin = yes" and you also have spamd/spamc
being called by procmail or some other setup, then you are doing it twice.
Just running spamd doesn't automatically pick up mail, it's just a daemon
providing service to the "spamc" client which part of your message delivery
system may be calling. MailScanner makes no use of spamd and it does not
need to be running for MailScanner to work.
