That makes sense.  If the daemon isn't running connect() will fail quickly
because nothing's listening on the port.  spamc retries the connection a few
times with a pause in between, but if spamd hasn't started by the end you'll
get the raw message back unmarked up.

Sure, change the startup scripts to start spamd before fetchmail.
