Dianne! Thanks.

Then one should add something like "/etc/init.d/mimedefang reread
> /dev/null" to /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin in the section where when
updates are found, right?

/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
        [...]
        # got updates!
        su - debian-spamd -c "spamassassin --lint" || die_with_lint
        do_compile
	reload
	# Mimedefang neu laden
	/etc/init.d/mimedefang reread > /dev/null
        ;;
        [...]


Btw I get an error on reread, Is this to worried about?
