- if you grep /etc/rc.d/init.d for 'spamd' you'll soon see if 'spamassassin' is there or if Centos uses a different name for it. - I have a feeling that service may not run a script that isn't initialised in the appropriate runlevels, so it might be worth either running chkconfig --list or looking in the various runlevel directories to see if the appropriate aliases are there.
