I've often wondered this, after applying a new spamassasin config, does it
get reloaded on the slave restart ?

Cheers

Mack

This post on Bugtraq was interesting:

MIMEDefang's multiplexor design means we are completely
immune to these kinds of attacks, because reloads happen
in the perl slaves and not in the milter threads.

David.
