Obviously, your spamd daemon is not listening on 127.0.0.1. Check if it
is not listening only on the unix socket.
Take also care of where your configuration files resides. I think on
Debian, spamassassin configuration is in /etc/spamassassin, while it is
in /etc/mail/spamassassin for stock installs. Maybe the backport changed
the config lacalisations and you daemon is only listening in the unix
socket like the default install.
