spamc/spamd comes with SA so no need to do anyting except editing my

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.
