Dovecot services not starting on system restart

Maintenance
1

I have just rebooted the server after a software update, but the Dovecot services did not restart.

✖	Dovecot LMTP LDA is not running (port 10026).
✖	IMAPS (dovecot) is not running (port 993).
✖	Mail Filters (Sieve/dovecot) is not running (port 4190).

After running the mailinabox command - the services start OK.

When I review the /var/log/mail.log I noticed the error:

Mar 21 13:30:32 mail spampd[2179]: WARNING!! Error in process_request eval block: /usr/sbin/spampd: socket connect failure: Connection refused

It sounds like a race condition when spampd has given up waiting for the Dovecot service to start.
