Take a look at sb_bnfilter.py.  It's like spamc/spamd only better.  The
daemon (sb_bnserver.py) is forked automatically and quietly exits after a
few seconds of idle time.

sb_bnfilter.py has only recently been added to the Spambayes CVS repository.
In the latest distribution I think it still turns up in the contrib
directory, but I moved it to the scripts directory a week or two ago, so it
should get installed by default when the next distribution is released.
