The user name may be hardcoded but the user ID can't be. You could
potentially edit /etc/passwd and set the user ID for the proprietary
software's user to the same user ID as the user spamd is running under,
and that username becomes an alias.

The lesser evil is to start the other daemon as the same user as spamd
(assuming that the other daemon does not need yet another set of
permissions which can not be solved through eg simple group
memberships).
