How does SpamPD differ from SpamAssassin Milter Plugin? #28

This obviously isn't an issue, just a question that I can't seem to figure out for myself:

What does spampd solve that spamass-milter does not ?

Ultimately, probably nothing. I'm not really familiar with the milter plugin, but seems like it basically does the same thing (pass all mail through SA), just in a different way. I'm not sure it can be used on anything but Sendmail, but don't know. It uses spamc/spamd, so that's more processes running, vs. spampd which does not (uses SA directly). The plugin has a long open issues list, spampd does not... :-) I would use whichever works best/simplest for your setup.
