I have to apologize. I didn't see that all of the error messages I
have seen were from a 20 minute window where spamassassin was indeed
not running at all. Debian updates stop all affected daemons first
thing in the update process, and start them after the update again. In
this case, the update stopped in the middle to ask a configuration
file question, and it took me like 20 minutes to notice. That way,
spamassassin was not running in that period of time, and exim barfed
correctly.
Sorry for raising this issue here, I should have been looking more
closely.
Case closed.
Greetings
Marc
