I've seen 5 minutes not be long enough to wait.
Our spamd is started as one part of an init.d script which manages several
other mail processing programs as well. We now run
service xxx stop
wait a "long" time
service xxx start
If spamd still is unhappy, we repeat but without the wait...that's usually
enough.
