No, that's not using spamd. Try 'man spamc', that will tell you how to use it.

You need a router which checks for each local recipient whether they want to
have their messages spam scanned. This routes messages to be scanned to a
transport which will scan the message and then re-inject it into the queue
for delivery. The normal test for a user who wants to have their messages
scanned is the existence of the user_prefs file in their directory
$HOME/.spamassassin.

This is the router I use:

HOME_DIR=/var/mail/home

spamtest:
driver = accept
no_verify
check_local_user
require_files = HOME_DIR/$local_part/.spamassassin/user_prefs
condition = ${if eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}{no}{yes}}
transport = spamcheck_transport

and this is my transport:

spamcheck_transport:
     driver = pipe
     home_directory = /var/spool/mail
     batch_max = 1000
     use_bsmtp
     headers_remove = 
X-Spam-Score:X-Spam-Status:X-Spam-Flag:X-Spam-Checker-Version:X-Spam-Report:X-Spam-Level:
     command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
     transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -f -s 5000000 -u $local_part
     user = mail
     log_output = true
     return_fail_output = true
     return_path_add = false
     message_prefix =
     message_suffix =
