Yes, spamd is running.

I should have looked into the logs. :'-(
When I run it again I see in the logging:
Oct 22 16:47:15 munus.decebal.nl spamd[17102]: spamd: connection from
localhost [::1]:58764 to port 783, fd 5
Oct 22 16:47:15 munus.decebal.nl spamd[17102]: spamd: setuid to imaps
succeeded
Oct 22 16:47:15 munus.decebal.nl spamd[17102]: spamd: service unavailable:
TELL commands are not enabled, set the --allow-tell switch.
Oct 22 16:47:15 munus.decebal.nl spamd[17101]: prefork: child states: II
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 …
