Looks like the pid file is not properly removed.
Except the .pid should never actually have been there due to the --p flag;
Can you drop the '--p=' option and see if it helps.

(spampd flags in /etc/rc.conf.local):

So this solves the reboot issue.
It seems that on startup, spampd starts first with default flags (not
even what's in your /etc/rc.d/spampd), and then gets a HUP (from where?)
and restarts with the passed flags.
However, with the .pid being in the original, default location, the
original problem returned which led me to moving the pid. The rc script
no longer will stop or restart the daemon:
# /etc/rc.d/spampd restart
spampd(failed)
produces:
Feb 28 09:28:47 mx2 spampd[30125]: Pid_file already exists for running
process (24108)... aborting
Feb 28 09:28:47 mx2 spampd[30125]: 2014/02/28-09:28:47 at line 145 in
file /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/Net/Server.pm
Feb 28 09:28:47 mx2 spampd[30125]: 2014/02/28-09:28:47 Server closing!
And then the original processes continue to run ignoring stop, restart,
etc..
This is mainly an issue because the daemon is supposed to be restarted
after the sa rules are updated.
Thanks again,
Andrew
