/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd will not stop/restart spamd

[pavalos]

Since spamd is actually a perl script, command_interpreter needs to be set in sa-spamd. If you set this to perl it works fine. The question I guess is why our rc.subr needs that and presumably FreeBSD's works ok.

The suggestion action is:

1. patch sa-spamd
2. open a PR at FreeBSD to incorporate the patch
   ?

IIRC, FreeBSD is supposed to need command_interpreter too, so even if it can handle it being missing, it's wrong to be missing and needs to be corrected.

sa-spamd is a generated file, and I'm not familiar enough with the magic of ports to make it select the installed version of PERL (I tried to use %%PERL%% in sa-spamd.in but it didn't work). What I did was just add a line in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd:
command_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/perl

Not sure about the right way to patch that, and could use some help.

How I patched a port file:
DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts@54af07b

The resulting port:
jrmarino@425e5ea

When the file is installed, it will replace %%PREFIX%% with /usr/local.
