Hi Nigel

SpamAssassin Sendmail Milter Plugin
Usage: spamass-milter -p socket [-b|-B bucket] [-d xx[,yy...]] [-D host]
                      [-e defaultdomain] [-f] [-i networks] [-m] [-M]
                      [-P pidfile] [-r nn] [-u defaultuser] [-x]
                      [-- spamc args ]
   -p socket: path to create socket
   -b bucket: redirect spam to this mail address. The orignal
          recipient(s) will not receive anything.
   -B bucket: add this mail address as a BCC recipient of spam.
   -d xx[,yy ...]: set debug flags. Logs to syslog
   -D host: connect to spamd at remote host (deprecated)
   -e defaultdomain: pass full email address to spamc instead of just
          username. Uses 'defaultdomain' if there was none
   -f: fork into background
   -i: skip (ignore) checks from these IPs or netblocks
          example: -i 192.168.12.5,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0
   -m: don't modify body, Content-type: or Subject:
   -M: don't modify the message at all
   -P pidfile: Put processid in pidfile
   -r nn: reject messages with a score >= nn with an SMTP error.
          use -1 to reject any messages tagged by SA.
   -u defaultuser: pass the recipient's username to spamc.
          Uses 'defaultuser' if there are multiple recipients.
   -x: pass email address through alias and virtusertable expansion.
   -- spamc args: pass the remaining flags to spamc.

i may fail here but default is to use a local socket
you might use -D host: connect to spamd at remote host
this might not work cause this option may depricated

man file says

-D host
             Connects to a remote spamd server on host, instead of using
one on localhost. This option is deprecated; use
             -- -d host instead.

so --d our.spampdhost.ip.addr ( which may balanced ) should work
