It is a bit strange. I had the same problem 1½ year ago. I solved it
by adding --allow-tell switch in the service file. Now it contained:
    ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spamd -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid $OPTIONS

I do not see the OPTIONS defined.

I substituted --allow-tell for $OPTIONS and restarted the service. Now
it works again. But why the service file has been changed …

That would be an issue for whoever packages SA for your system. There is
no systemd service file distributed in the SA release.

I don't see init file on debian my stretch SA installation.

but if it was there, admins are advised to copy them to /etc and make
modifications there, instead of modifying files that get overwritten at
upgrade (debian checks for config file changes, but init files aren't
apparently config files).
