I think you want to run spamd/spamc instead of spamd/spamassassin.
Spamd is the daemon half of Spamassassin that needs to be running in the
background.  Upon message arrival, you want to invoke a child process of
spamc.

I don't think -L is a valid switch for spamc.

Read up on the docs just a little more: http://spamassassin.apache.org/
