This is platform-specific. If your platform uses systemd, the command
"systemctl reload mimedefang" doesn't reload the mimedefang-filter, it
only reloads the systemd definition of the mimedefang service, which
effectively does nothing. To get your system to reload the
mimedefang-filter, use the md-mx-ctrl tool:
md-mx-ctrl reread
OR if you are not using the mimedefang-multiplexor (which I think
everyone should...) you can keep using the systemctl stop and start
functions while screaming curses at the abomination that is systemd and
its deeply ignorant design.
