Did you install the packages for them? I'm not sure about exim, but I'm fairly confident that spamassassin will not be included in most new installs of Debian, unless specifically requested (either for itself or as part of a task/"workload" to be selected during the install process). > So when I do > > # systemctl start exim.service > RROR:systemctl:Unit exim.service could not be found. > Why are exim and spamassassin automatically present as services? I don't run systemd myself, but based on what I see in the output of 'apt-file search' with appropriate parameters, you might try with exim4.service instead. That's provide by both the exim4-daemon-light and exim4-daemon-heavy packages. There's also exim4-base.service, provided by the exim4-base package. For spamassassin, I find reference to spamassassin-maintenance.service, provided by the spamassassin package. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
