this is what I do. I start it only if there's no system spamd running. we may additionally save socket path to e_mktemp generated file and look for running there, but that sounds overly complicated to me.

when it dies then it will not detect any more junk. testing if spamd runs for each junk test is expensive.

what do you mean by "running it all the time", running what?

I think the init callback is useful and might be even more if we implement more plugins. btw, is it going to be possible to use EPlugin for junk plugins?

yeah, it keeps running. there will be still pid file around, so we may kill it in --force-shutdown as we do with e-d-s.
