Does IMAPAssassin use spamc/spamd for processing spam?
If not, how do we make it so? I read that
spamc/spamd is much faster than spamassassin?

    as far as I read in the documentation for spamc/spamd -
    spamd is faster because it doesn't start an individual perl
    interpreter process for every spamassassin call.

    since imapassassin uses the spamassassin classes directly
    no additional perl interpreter is started.

    As long as you don't run multiple imapassassin processes
    parallel it shouldn't give you much speedup.

    if you do and you would use spamd you'd still have the
    multiple interpreter problem. so it would be better to use
    threads or preforking in imapassassin.

    Well, right now we're using SpamAssassin as a library. So
    the perl interpreter is started once when you start
    IMAPAssassin. So this is probably even faster than
    spamc/spamd. ;-)
