I can confirm this bug.
As a temporary fix, i replaced the line

pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamd

with

if [ -f "/var/run/spamd.pid" ]
then
PID=`cat /var/run/spamd.pid`
fi

Additional info:
version: spamassassin 3.3.2-2
system: up-to-date 64bit arch

pgrep also works and there's no need to add the "-r PIDFILE" option to spamd.

I replaced

PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamd`

with

PID=`pgrep -f '^/usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamd -d'`

I think pidof is returning nothing because spamd is launched by /usr/bin/perl. If you do a pidof /usr/bin/perl, you'll see the pid of spamd returned (along with all other perl PIDs). Obviously, that is not a solution to this issue.

pgrep let's you search the entire commandline with -f.
