Yes, it's very good. But they do different things.

I'd go with spampd. spamd is great if you would normally be running
spamassassin, but want something faster. You'd still have to worry about
getting the mail to the internal server. spampd, on the other hand,
is a SMTP relay (v2 is "transparent") which during the DATA portion of
the conversation, runs the message through SA, then spits the results
out to the destination mail server.
I didn't want to receive a mail, then fork off a spamc process, then have
it fork off a sendmail to put the mail back in the queue for delivery...
I just have postfix contact spampd, which connects to the destination
machine (I currently do localhost (non-filtered), but sending it to the
internal mail server works too) and filters the mail all in one swoop. :)
