So, the developers invented the spamc/spamd combination. In order to

Then, the spamc binary is the "client" used to connect to spamd. But
this isn't a daemon like httpd or ftp that provides services to other
computers on your network, it's simply an internal thing that makes
spamassassin run better.
Well, actually spamd is a daemon pretty much like httpd or xinetd. It
listens for requests via a socket, by default on port 783. Out of the
box it only allows requests from localhost, but it's perfectly happy to
serve spamc either on your computer or another, as long as you tell it
to allow access from those ip addresses using the option -allowed-ips.
The default for spamc is to connect to spamd on localhost, but by using
the -d option you can point it to spamd running somewhere else.
How do Joseph or your wife (Jason) feel about being sponsors? I'd feel
more comfortable with it being a steering committee member, or at least
a long standing member, who is the sponsor.
Others thoughts?
