Hello Team,

I have followed article to install the Spamassassin, all of the files look like to install to server. But the CyberPanel interface is displayed “SpamAssassin is not installed”

Also, I can not start the Spamassassin, and display below.

========================================================
[root@carrie ~]# service spamassassin start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start spamassassin.service

I have search on Google, it is due to IPv6 issues, but I do not have /etc/default/spamassassin file.

May I know how can I do? Many thanks =)

spamd: could not create IO::Socket::IP socket on [127.0.0.1]:783: Address already in use

Port seems to be already in use.

Thank you very much! After I further study, is my Web Hosting set disable_ipv6 as default on CentOS.
