That's the funny thing...
There is no direct 'spamassassin' or 'spamd' script in the init
directory, and I did do a "grep -r spamd /etc/" and it didn't find it
anywhere relevant. I installed it from Perl. It's seems to be somehow
starting up with 'amavisd'. I've searched all of those files and
found no instances of spamd in their config and executable files
either. I'm running Red Hat 8.
Thanks!

However, it could be started via anything.
It all depends on how it was set up. I can hand-hack a startup for
it into
almost anything in the whole bootup if I wanted, and if it's been
hand-hacked
you might just need to do a "grep -r spamd /etc/*"
Do you know how SA was installed (distro package, source tarball)?
Heck, for that matter what OS are you running? (I'm looking for
distro and
version, not "Linux", as this might give some hints about what your
general
startup structure looks like. Not all Linux is the same here, much
less all *nix)

Sorry for another email, I meant.. "can't find how it starts up"
Thanks again,

Where do I change the user that spamd starts up with... I searched
all my startup scripts and can find how it even starts up.
Thanks,
