[TriLUG] SpamAssassin as a daemon

Hi Folks,
  This is probably something I should just google, but I'm at work so I need
to look busier than "surfing the web"..  (You know...doesn't matter what
you're looking at; if you're not typing, you don't look busy...)  So I
figured if anyone felt like pointing me to a howto, or explaining in brief,
I'd ask how to take advantage of the daemon portion of SpamAssassin.  So far
in my experience with spamassassin, I've used it as part of a procmail
filter recipe (which doesn't seem to make use of spamd to me).  What does
the daemon give me, and why is it better (or simply is it better) than the
procmail filter method?  Further, if I want to have a non-sa-processed copy
of all mail messages, does that preclude using spamd?

Thanks as always,
~Brian
