Problem installing Spamassassin 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 23.10 Server

I've built a mail server and I wanted to include Spamassasin. As noted
above, the machine is running Ubuntu Server 23.10, so I started with

sudo apt install spamassassin spamc

but I can't start the spamassassin.service; the error message I get
when I run

sudo systemctl start spamassassin

says "Failed to start spamassassin.service: Unit spamassassin.service
not found." Spamd, however, is active and running. Is this normal?
If it isn't, what can I do to correct things?

Further information available on request. Thanks in advance!

The service seems to be have renamed. It is the same on Debian. You also have to change now /etc/default/spamd instead of /etc/default/spamassassin for start-up options.

So it's normal? I don't need to obsess over it?

You don't. Just note it for further installations.
