there is?  i didn't see anything like that in my searching.  i don't 
suppose i could get the address for that...  i suppose there's the 
spamassassin mailing list, but i don't think 1) it's a spamassassin 
problem, as evidenced by the success of the spamc command or 2) people 
on that list would be any more likely to use milter-spamd than the 
wide-ranging audience attracted to misc@openbsd.org

hmm, apologies.  3445. was the file containing the particular email 
pulled out of the milter-spamd log.  i'm using a maildir setup.  so 
that spamc < 3445. command was passing the aforementioned email into 
spamc to test it, which, if my understanding is correct, is basically 
what milter-spamd would do.
