Alright... I'm being pedantic, but you're confusing "spamassassin" and
"SpamAssassin". "spamassassin" (written in lower case) refers to the
perl script "/usr/bin/spamassassin" (or equivalent) which calls the
SpamAssassin libraries. When written in StudlyCaps or CamelCase,
"SpamAssassin (tm)" is an adjective. It should usually be written in a
phrase such as "the SpamAssassin Software" or "the SpamAssassin
engine". When it is used (incorrectly) as a noun, it usually refers to
one of the above.

So, spamd is always calling the SpamAssassin libraries and hence the
SpamAssassin software. It is not logical for spamd to call
spamassassin, though as Daryl pointed out it would not be difficult if
you chose to do that. :-)

Anyways... maybe I should get back to doing something useful like
studying for tomorrow's exam...
