No worries; just looked oddly familiar.

Ok; I'm not quite sure why you're not just using the Debian packages
if you're using start-stop-daemon, but that's your call.

This is an SA specific configuration, and doesn't really have anything
to do with the milter. I'm just guessing, but you've probably got
different configurations for whatever user spamc is running as (or
spamass-milter is running as) and the user that you're checking things
with otherwise.

The -M option would have to be passed, which isn't the default (and
isn't the case according to what you're showing.) [Of course, it's
completely possible to patch spamass-milter to change the default.]

It's not the start options, assuming what you had below is correct.
