[Bug 1421787] Re: /etc/init.d/spamassassin reload fails unless /var/run/spamd/ exists for pid file

[Sigmund]

Hi there, I solved my problem with the spamassassin. It was a combination of more that one problem (anything else would be boring ;) ).
First one was the missing spamd.pid-file (solution see above).

Second: I changed "qmgr" and "pickup" at "/etc/postfix/master.cf".
qmgr fifo n - n 1 1 qmgr
pickup fifo n - - 60 1 pickup
It has to be "fifo" instead of "unix"? Then restart postfix ( service postfix restart or /etc/init.d/postfix restart ).
(http://forum.sp.parallels.com/threads/postfix-master-connection-refused.303699/)

Third and last I changed the rsyslog" at "/etc/logrotate.d  to "solve issues with wrong owner rights after the logrotation"
from:
postrotate
reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript

to:
postrotate
reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
su root root
