... Did you perhaps reboot, and had forgotten to
chkconfig sendmail off
perhaps?
And the initial "spamc cannot find spamd" looks like you have it in a
procmailrc (/etc/procmailrc), since all the log entries are about
spamc not finding anything listening (meaning either that spamd is
running but being firewalled, or that spamd isn't running at all)...
Just remove any mention of spamc and/or spammassassin from your
procmailrc and you should be fine.

Nope, you _should_ run spamassassin from MailScanner, and pretty much
nowhere else.
