rmilter.service start fails (233/RUNTIME_DIRECTORY) on debian Jessie w/ systemd

[xeyownt]

I follow the installation guide recommended on https://rspamd.com/doc/quickstart.html. I'm using repository from http://rspamd.com/apt-stable/.

apt-get install rmilter
systemctl status rmilter.socket
# ● rmilter.socket - Another sendmail milter for different mail checks
#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.socket; enabled)
#    Active: active (listening) since Mon 2016-07-18 18:49:22 CEST; 1 day 23h ago

systemctl status rmilter.service

#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service; disabled)
#    Active: inactive (dead)
systemctl start rmilter.service
systemctl status rmilter.service -l

# Jul 20 17:56:05 ober.noekeon.org systemd[1]: Unit rmilter.service entered failed state.

(I copy all the stuff to ease googling by others).

Basically the fix is simply to import commit 3fd106a, ie. add in rmilter.service:

 [Service]
 ...
 Restart=always

Strangely enough, none of the version of rmilter on the repository (curently 1.8.6 in apt-stable/ and 1.8.7 in apt/) contains that line.
