Use rc.conf.local as explained in rc.d(8).
Yes - I wonder if we should rename daemon_flags to
do_not_edit_this_directly_use_rc_conf_local_instead___daemon_flags
So you would want to revert the change to /etc/rc.d/spampd, and
instead use spampd_flags="....." in rc.conf.local
Done; my latest results in previous post;
daemon="/usr/local/sbin/spampd"
daemon_flags="--a --rh --p=/var/spampd/spampd.pid --relayport=10026"
-- is for long options, - for short options, maybe you should have
this instead:
-a -rh -p=/var/spampd/spampd.pid --relayport=10026
I understand, except for spampd, according to the man page, this isn't
the case, it takes short options with --
. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
pexp="/usr/bin/perl -T ${daemon}${daemon_flags:+ ${daemon_flags}}"
rc_cmd $1
On a reboot, I get this behaviour:

Not sure but I wonder if this is just something that
Net::Server::PreForkSimple does anyway.

Here it's trying to write to /var/run/spampd.pid so it's ignoring
the option to write to /var/spampd/spampd.pid.
Exactly. I found this. It's not exactly helpful but seems to indicate
that there's something buggy in it.
