After stopping SpamAssassin messages like these are appearing in
/var/log/maillog:

Is this a problem or can I ignore them?
I would think stopping these may prevent any mail from passing through your
system. If you can't figure out how to reconfigure qmail to stop sending
mail to spamd then you might consider adding the --local argument to the
spamd daemon. This would make spamd run considerably faster (but it would
not detect spam as well as before). Maybe if SA ran faster mail would start
to flow. This means you would have to be skilled enough to figure out where
to place this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd.sh. Then you would restart
spam via that initscript. If you like, post that script so someone can offer
instructions.
