Looks like sudo is propagating your environment to
spamd.sh. When you su to root, the software
involved sanitizes things some to reduce the
opportunities for accidents.
Probably the simplest fix is to make a
spamdwrapper:
#!/usr/bin/bash
export PATH=
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh
and sudo spamdwrapper instead. You may have to do
something to help it find perl (either the PATH
variable or editing the full path into the script
that invokes perl).
