Actually, turns out I was wrong. spamd is 21st on the list (S12), whereas fetchmail is second-last at 34th (S15). Therefore changing the order of the startup scripts might not have much effect -- fetchmail can't go much later on the list, since it's already second-last, and spamd can't go much earlier, because it depends on network a few entries up. Maybe spamd is just taking too long to start up...?
