Public bug reported:

Hello there

I'm running Spamassassin here on Ubuntu 16.10 together with Monit (and
Postfix of course). Each time server restarts, Monit says first that the
spamd process is not running (no PID) but in three minutes it says it's
running.

There is the /etc/init.d/spamassassin file that boots Spamassassin on
start. But somehow it does not seem to get executed asap but 3 mins
later. No idea why.

The PID under /var/run/spamassassin.pid is owned by root and is
monitored under Monit with these configs:

# (hidden) @ (hidden) in /etc/monit/conf.d [14:00:04] C:1
$ cat spamassassin
check process spamd with pidfile /var/run/spamassassin.pid
   group mail
   start program = "/etc/init.d/spamassassin start" with timeout 180 seconds
   stop  program = "/etc/init.d/spamassassin stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
   if cpu usage > 79% for 5 cycles then alert
   if mem usage > 79% for 5 cycles then alert
   depends on spamd_bin
   depends on spamd_rc

check file spamd_rc with path /etc/init.d/spamassassin
   group mail
   if failed checksum then unmonitor
   if failed permission 755 then unmonitor
   if failed uid root then unmonitor
   if failed gid root then unmonitor

check file spamd_bin with path /usr/sbin/spamd
   group mail
   if failed checksum then unmonitor
   if failed permission 755 then unmonitor
   if failed uid root then unmonitor
   if failed gid root then unmonitor

Not sure what the problem is here. Could be one of these:
- a bug in /etc/init.d/spamassassin?
- a bad config in the above monit config
- something in postfix or another lib blocking spamassassin

No idea how to investigate. And there is no spamassassin log showing how
it starts up.

Any clues welcome
