spamd will not run as root, it is a security risk. If you start it as root and you do not tell it who you want to run as (IE leave off the '-u' option) it will automagically switch to user "nobody".
Actually, spamd will run as root. It seems to run as root perfectly fine for me (security risks aside), though mine is localhost-only on a Linux test box. It automagically setuid()s to the user given to it from procmail, but the "parent" process remains as root. Maybe you're talking about another configuration?
