I don't think the OP wants to mess around with the global system
services, so it's not _quite_ that simple...
Actually it is. You can run spamd as an ordinary user.
"service spamd" executes the system-level init script for the global
spamd. It has nothing to do with running spamd as an ordinary user.
So use "sudo service spamd start|stop|status" - you can even embed it in
a shell script. No problem. I do exactly that in my SA rule development
rig.
The point is the OP wanted to run custom rulesets against his corpa and
apparently _did not_ have administrative access to the system or
permission to change the global system config.
I agree with all of the points made about "service spamd", I was just
pointing out that it wasn't appropriate or relevant to the OP's situation.
