After upgrade to 8.1 spamassassin can't start

[Marco Manenti]

Hi folks,
after an upgrade to 8.1 spamassassin won't start.
Spamd is running.
in /etc/default/spamassassin, ENABLED=0 (also in /etc backup before the upgrade)

Any hints?

/var/log/syslog:

PMG does not use the spamassassin.service - SpamAssassin is integrated into pmg-smtp-filter

EDIT: and this service does not exist on a PMG installation - make sure you have the correct packages installed (pmgversion -v)

I hope this explains it!

Thanks Stoiko

I've masked with systemctl spamassassin.

In syslog before upgrade i didn't found errors about spamassassin. Strange!
