Recently I've been using the daemon version of spamassassin (spamd) in Centos.

In some circumstances I need to stop the daemon. What is the best way to do that?

I'm used to stopping the mailserver first and then issuing kill -15 spamd but I don't know if this is ok.

Log in SSH as root and run:

/scripts/spamassassindisable

Today I was having trouble with spamd and needed to stop it in order to find out what was going on in my VPS and found somewhere only how to restart it, it was inside /scripts and it started with spam[something]. So I just found spamassassindisable and bang!, it was exactly what I needed. The command name itself is auto-explainable!
