As, from this, it seems that you have already got the messages held as
individual files in the /home/sean/code/spam/spfiles/ directory, why not
feed them directly to spamd with a small bash script:
for m in /home/sean/code/spam/spfiles/*
do
spamc <$m | pipeline to analyse and store spamd replies
done
which should run a lot faster than calling spamassassin directly because
spamd will only need to be loaded once at the start of the run.
... or did I miss something obvious?
