Thats one of the reason why people choose *BSD

I'm a little afread that this happens again if you update the mail/spamd port.

I have taken a short look into the community from cPanel and notice that some of them adjust there scripts from `pkill -HUP $procname` to 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xxx.pid`'

Can you do a grep -R spamd over the cPanel scripts?
Maybe they can adjust the kill command in the next release to the pidfile?

At the moment there are two pid files
/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid => SpamAssassin spamd
/var/run/spamd.pid => OpenBSD spamd (in your case with patch now obspamd.pid)

Reasons to not change the default deamon name to obspamd for me
- keep code and names from OpenBSD so people know it comes from there
- break of existing scripts for the mail/spamd port since procname change, for example logfile parsers, statistics ...
- bad feedback for the change from pf-spamd to obspamd (that's another story)
