AHA!

Apparently Ubuntu (and Debian?) has a package called "dnsmasq-base" which is 
installed as a dependency of libvirt, which manages it independently and 
autocratically...

2 maybe useful links:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/TestingEnvironment#Tell_systemd-resolved_to_use_libvirt.27s_dnsmasq_for_VMs_only_.2817.04.2B-.29

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq

In short: this looks like a platform-specific situation grounded in trying to 
use one system for both spam filtering and running virtual machines.

No idea. Looks like an Ubuntuism I am unfamiliar with.

No, there wouldn't be. THIS dnsmasq is libvirtd's pet. It should be irrelevant 
to your SpamAssassin resolution issues. As long as BIND's 'named' process is 
binding to 127.0.0.1:53 before dnsmasq tries to do so, you should only need to 
look at what named is doing.
