Hm.. weird. Or maybe not.

On my prod server, where the problem is, I run exim 4.62 (not 4.63 as I
said earlier).
I just ran some tests on my test server (4.63), with the following
response when spamd wasn't loaded

451 Temporary local problem - please try later

But this was when I deliberately processed some mail with spamd
unloaded, not unloading spamd while the mails were processed. However
I'm not sure there's any difference.

I'll have a go with your defer condition in a while, thanks Chris.
