(One of) the Fedora spamassassin package maintainers here. Yes, that was changed for the systemd side of things to allow it to log to journal and more closely/directly monitor the spamd process. I've conditionalized that now so that it should build/do the right thing on el distros again. So, you shouldn't need to make any changes from the rawhide src.rpm to build yourself. I have also created a copr for el5/el6: http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/kevin/spamassassin-el/ Feedback welcome on those packages/repo (Please send directly to me, don't file Fedora bugs on it). Hopefully folks find them useful. Thanks, kevin
