I had been using xdm here and gnome wouldn't start with that. (Maybe it shouldln't have worked in the past?)

Also I decided to try rc_parallel="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. It seems to work fine, but complains that mysql failed to start. In fact it seems to have started just fine. Unless I get some reassurance I'm going to use "NO" for now.

Got some problems with rc_depend_strict as well. I have set it to 'NO', but my laptop still whines about net.wlan0 not being available when I try to start, for example, the ssh server even though I am online via ethernet.

Do you have net.lo started at the boot level?

I still have issues with spamd not starting. I tried all your suggestions but all of them fail for me.

My main issue is actually that I don't know how to make it give me error messages. Output as the following gives me zero information as to what could be wrong:

spamd is a perl daemon, iirc. As such, it needs special handling. Try starting with a pidfile referenced. If that fails, try starting perl and then pass spamd as the first argument. Like so

start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/spamd -- spamd-options
becomes
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/bin/perl -- /usr/bin/spamd spamd-options

Found the problem... there were some old spamd (perl) instances still running and not cleaned up, and they occupied the socket. killall -9 perl solved that matter (although you shouldn't run this command if you have any other perl services as you may end up killing them too). The init script was hiding error messages by spamd...

If anyone is interested in the spamd init script that works for me, I nopasted it here:

Make sure to zap (remove pidfile) and kill old perl instances that may occupy the spamd port first, i.e. this worked for me:
