I don't quite understand what you're saying. The second line is commented out; the first line tells qmail to pipe the e-mail through spamassassin, then write the result to my Maildir (using maildir). > also, you are running S/A as a very expensive daemon above, calling the > main S/A for each mail received...

The only difference is that I don't use the '-P' flag since it's now the default for SA. Just to emphasise: my Qmail/Spamassassin setup has worked fine for years; it's only relatively recently that a very small number of e-mails have been getting corrupted. > I think a better way is to use the S/A client in a .qmail file, and have > the S/A daemon running...
