Can't recall :) I think it was background delivery.

Fair enough. The SA script is known to have performance overheads and
even the developer has recomended the use of spamc/spamd where performance
is important. Its just that, given that spamc does everything that SA
does but faster, I can't see a reason to use the script in preference to
the binary (unless you wanted to hack at it I guess). The developers
seems tob e doubling his development effort by maintaing both in the
distribution.
