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.
