I'm not sure about condrestart but any changes you make to the
local.cf file won't be applied until you restart the SA service.

--lint reads the settings in from the local.cf and associated files as
if SA was running with those settings, not as SA is running at that
point.

I deal with restarts by having multiple SA servers running, if my MTA
can't get a response out of the 1st it goes to the 2nd and so on.

If you are getting that much spam through, you could stop your smtp
service or shut port 25 temporarily while SA restarts.

Hope that helps
