>Description:
	[ package SpamAssassin ]
	/etc/rc.d/spamd sets defaults for $spamd and $spamd_flags, and
	claims (in a comment) that these can be overridden in /etc/rc.conf.
	However, they cannot.  load_rc_config(), at the bottom of the
	script, does NOT re-load rc.conf at boot time, because
	$_rc_conf_loaded is already set.  The effect is that the values
	in the spamd script are always the values used.  Probably not
	caught because when run by hand, $_rc_conf_loaded is not set,
	and so the script appears to work.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Two options:
	1) move the spamd default settings to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
	2) unset $_rc_conf_loaded before calling load_rc_config().

	The first option seems better.
