You need to wait for all of spamd's children to die, including all of the
spamc's.  This can take a while on a busy and/or slow server.  This works
for me most of the time:

#!/bin/bash

PID=`awk '{print $1}' /var/run/spamd.pid`

  kill -TERM $PID && wait || echo "ERROR!"

  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh

exit
