I'd like to request the addition of at least basic how to enable

other than referring to non freebsd specific help. I found what I
needed based on Googling, but that really shouldn't be necessary.

I'll look into it, but it would help if either:
A) You tell me if we need to add files, make links, or something that
was missing in the install.
B) suggest what you want in the message
(or, C: cd /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new. I like it better than
running raw spamd)
(a unified diff patch would be better. make sure you patch against
current 3.20 p5-Mail-SpamAssassin.
If you don't have it, update ports tree, if not there yet, see:

I've been doing SA thru procmail for yearsm and now have beefier
hardware, so i wanted to retry the daemon. 2 things jump out right away.
A
In /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd, even if I select to run spamd during
the spamassassin config stage, I get these defaults.
# Set defaults
: ${spamd_enable:=NO}
: ${spamd_flags=-c }
The install doesn't say that you need to do spamd_enable=YES in rc.conf.
Adding that allows spamd to start, but in a state of security many
wont be comfortable with.
B
Now after you get that far, you are left with a setup that works, but
spamd is runnning as root. Here is the default ps with just the above arg.
ps auxwww | grep spamd
root626 0.0 3.3 26456 25740 ?? Ss2:53PM 0:03.93
/usr/local/bin/spamd -c -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid (perl5.8.8)
root717 0.0 3.3 26456 25740 ?? I 2:54PM 0:00.02 spamd
child (perl5.8.8)
root718 0.0 3.3 26456 25740 ?? I 2:54PM 0:00.02 spamd
child (perl5.8.8)
The install goes through the trouble of creating a spamd user, shouldn't
we run spamd with the -u spamd flags, or at the minimum warn the user
that they now have another root owned service running on their box?
Adding spamd_flags=-u spamd and restarting leads to
ps auxwww | grep spamd
root820 0.0 3.3 26464 25784 ?? Ss3:07PM 0:03.71
/usr/local/bin/spamd -u spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid (perl5.8.8)
spamd 823 0.0 3.3 26464 25800 ?? I 3:08PM 0:00.02 spamd
child (perl5.8.8)
spamd 824 0.0 3.3 26464 25800 ?? I 3:08PM 0:00.02 spamd
child (perl5.8.8)
BTW, I saw your comments in the above pr, it doesn't seem like the
ports tree is frozen anymore, portsnap has gotten me changes for at
least the last few days.
