Package: spamassassin Version: 3.4.1-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Installed spamassassin. It was working fine. Rebooted computer, then exim was failing to talk to spamassassin, making it non-functional for me. /var/log/exim4/paniclog: 2017-04-09 13:08:27 1cxJ8N-0006o6-6p spam acl condition: all spamd servers failed In syslog, shortly after booting: Apr 07 18:49:07 treetowl spamd[1126]: spamd: server started on IO::Socket::IP [::1]:783 (running version 3.4.1) I verified with netstat that spamassassin was only listening on ipv6. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? systemctl restart spamassassin * What was the outcome of this action? spamassassin started working. I noticed in syslog the message from above now included listening on 127.0.0.1: Apr 09 13:29:43 treetowl spamd[28578]: spamd: server started on IO::Socket::IP [::1]:783, IO::Socket::IP [127.0.0.1]:783 (running version 3.4.1) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages spamassassin depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii curl 7.52.1-3 ii init-system-helpers 1.47 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3 ii libhttp-date-perl 6.02-1 ii libmail-dkim-perl 0.40-1 ii libnet-dns-perl 1.07-1 ii libnetaddr-ip-perl 4.079+dfsg-1+b1 ii libsocket6-perl 0.27-1+b1 ii libsys-hostname-long-perl 1.5-1 ii libwww-perl 6.15-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii perl 5.24.1-2 ii perl-modules-5.24 [libarchive-tar-perl] 5.24.1-2 Versions of packages spamassassin recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.18-6 ii libio-socket-inet6-perl 2.72-2 ii libmail-spf-perl 2.9.0-4 ii libperl5.24 [libsys-syslog-perl] 5.24.1-2 ii sa-compile 3.4.1-6 ii spamc 3.4.1-6+b1 Versions of packages spamassassin suggests: pn libdbi-perl <none> pn libencode-detect-perl <none> pn libgeo-ip-perl <none> ii libio-socket-ssl-perl 2.044-1 pn libnet-patricia-perl <none> ii libperl5.24 [libcompress-zlib-perl] 5.24.1-2 pn pyzor <none> pn razor <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/spamassassin changed: ENABLED=0 OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir" PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid" CRON=1 NICE="--nicelevel 15" -- no debconf information
