[Users] Spamassassin - config help

[Reid Vail]

Hello Claws-mail team -

Somehow or other I lost the thread of this config issue.  Sorry. This was my earlier
message:
----
I'm running version 3.13.2 on Linuxmint 18 KDE and have a question about the best
way to get it up and running. I'm getting the error shown below:

"The SpamAssassin plugin couldn't filter a message. The probable cause of the error
is an unreachable spamd daemon. Please make sure spamd is running and accessible."

I have the plugin loaded and turned on via Preferences. I also loaded various
spamassassin elements via Synaptic, including spamassassin 3.4.1-3,
claws-mail-spamassassin, spamc , spamass-milter. 
----------

I believe the respondent asked if Spamd was loaded, and how I had it configured.  I
don't believe it is loaded because I don't see a process by that name when I look in
Ksysguard.  Should I look somewhere else?  If I should have done something to make
sure it loads, I didn't know that.  

Here's /etc/default/spamassassin.. I made only one change, to set ENABLED to 1.

# /etc/default/spamassassin
# Duncan Findlay

# WARNING: please read README.spamd before using.
# There may be security risks.

# If you're using systemd (default for jessie), the ENABLED setting is
# not used. Instead, enable spamd by issuing:
# systemctl enable spamassassin.service
# Change to "1" to enable spamd on systems using sysvinit:
ENABLED=1

# Options
# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added.

# SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to
# make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5,
# unless you know what you're doing.

OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"

# Pid file
# Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or
# --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user.
# Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down.
PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"

# Set nice level of spamd
#NICE="--nicelevel 15"

# Cronjob
# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
# spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis
CRON=0
----------------------

As for the config of the plugin, it is enabled, type of transport is set to
Localhost, user is correct and spamd is set to localhost.

It is really possible I missed steps.  Open to advice.
