I noticed this message during installation
**spamassassin.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.**

but the installation has finished successfuly. What I find odd is that spamassassin service is disable after first installation. I need to enable it, then start it

Re: Is it normal that spamassassin service is disable after first installa

It's disabled on purpose.
SpamAssassin is called by Amavisd directly, not as a standalone daemon. So spamassassin daemon service is not used and disabled.
