No. spamd is started after the network is up and running.

According to
https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html :

"By default, SpamAssassin will query some default hosts on the internet
to attempt to check if DNS is working or not. The problem is that it
can introduce some delay if your network connection is down, and in
some cases it can wrongly guess that DNS is unavailable because the
test connections failed."

I decided that since the network should always be available, there's no
reason for spamassassin to test it.

Interesting.  What version of SA are you using?

Hi,

I have another question.

It appears to me that spamassassin can produce different spam
scores for the same email.
In particular, I have noticed that points are omitted for
RCVD_IN_SBL_CSS (Spamhaus blacklist) sometimes. Why?
In the past I noticed that network tests were sometimes completely
omitted. I believe sa checks for network connectivity before
perfoming these tests, and incorrectly determines that there is no
network available.

In my case, adding:

dns_available yes

to my local.cf solved this issue.
