Unfortunately, i'm using a server which hosts several other people/domains,
thus i don't have root access. I run it for my own purposes only, under
my user id.

i've been using spamassassin for some time now, but i wanted to change
to spamd for two reasons:

1) spamassassin has no logging :( so i can't create cool statistics

2) currently i'm using procmail with a lock file to restrict to only one
SA process at a time during incoming email scanning. i'd like to use
spamd to run a maximum of 5 processes. i tried removing the lock so
procmail runs multiple SA's, but that caused problems when i started
receiving ~100 emails per second in bursts which spawned too many SA
processes.
