When a message is tagged, amavisd delivers the message normally but
includes **SPAM** or similar in the Subject line, along with other
headers added to indicate spam.

Often the LDA will be configured to detect such mail and sort it
into a spam folder.

See the amavisd-new docs for details.

amavisd does not use spamd, it calls the perl modules directly. It
is not necessary to run spamd on the server.
See the amavisd-new docs for details.
