There appears to no longer be a "spamassassin" service in /etc/init.d;
it would appear to be replaced by spamd as the service name.  And any
attempt to start that results in the error messages I reported. :-(  It
repeats that message for a few times, and then just quits.  So I
currently have no spamassassin protection on my machine.
