Well, if you're going to run spamassassin instead of spamd, then it's probably a good idea; it will prevent more than one copy of SA running at a time, which will keep it from crushing your mailserver. SA is _really_ slow and resource intensive when run standalone; I'd highly recommend setting up spamd and spamc instead, and then not worry about the lock. M
