Which distribution are you using?
If it's RedHat or Mandrake, for example, you're not starting it correctly.
For them there is an /etc/init.d aka /etc/rc.d/init.d entry for starting
and stopping spamd using the "service" script as with "service spamassassin
restart".
Otherwise you have to use kill and the command below.
