I use srvman, it's easy to use, it has a gui, and it's free. I just run C:\NET\SpamAssassinWin32-EX\spamd-service.bat as Win32 service, as LocalSystem account.
spamd-service.bat is below: taskkill /F /IM:spamd.exe C: CD C:\NET\SpamAssassinWin32-EX @rem spamd.exe --max-spare=6 spamd.exe -D --syslog="spamd.log" --max-spare=6 I hope it helps.
