My spammed.log file is empty:

Do you mean spamd.log?

Yes (sometimes auto-spelling correcting sucks)

OK, so newsyslog(8) is working as expected.

$ psa spam

/usr/local/bin/spamd -c -s /var/log/spamd.log -d -r /var/run/spamd/
spamd.pid (perl5.10.0)

As documented in the spamd(1) man page:

-s facility, --syslog=facility    Specify the syslog facility

So, specifly a syslog FACILITY instead of a FILENAME. See syslogd (8) and
syslog.conf(5) man pages for more.

So setting the -s to 'local1' and then setting syslog.conf to log local1.* to /var/log/spamd.log?

/etc/newsyslog.conf:/var/log/spamd.log 640 91 * @T00 J
/etc/syslog.conf:local1.* /var/log/spamd.log

OK, just waiting for a spam to come in and get past the RBL/HELO checks. Seems early Sunday morning are the worst timeā€¦
