I see - because spamd is the controlling program (? and in general is
always (usually anyway) a 'slave' to some client program), or some other
reason?.

But these messages are dropped when SA is run from .procmailrc aren't
they?  That is, aren't SA's "warning" messsage only going to the
terminal anyway, in which case, they would make sense only when SA is
run interactively.

So it sounds like (well, like one of those "esoteric" design questions,
I happen to enjoy), if SA does not normally write to a disk file log,
there's no reason it should in the case of running as a spamd client -
but if one wants these messages, can't STDERR be redirected (via perhaps
a command line switch or to the hook you mentioned) to a disk file
(seems like some one mentioned this, but I can't find the message now)?
