One solution is to add '-f' to your spamc command line. Then it won't
fail when spamd dies and will simply pass the message along. The
advantage is you still get mail delivery, even though it isn't
scanned. Better yet, just upgrade spamassassin -- that option is the
default now.

You can write a program to
1) check for spamd
2) start it if it doesn't exist
3) exec spamc
and use that as your filter instead of using spamc directly.
