[Bug 4774] New: need better way to reload configuration

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4774

           Summary: need better way to reload configuration
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Libraries
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jm@jmason.org


I've noticed that using the SIGHUP method to reload the configuration, often
seems to allow messages to pass through unscanned while the spamd restarts.

We need a better, less heavyweight method to reload config, instead of a full
daemon stop/restart cycle.

Check out what Sendmail does.  It disconnects from the children, letting them
live to complete their current job.  When the children finish their current
job and discover that their parent is gone, they exit.  The other thing that
you would need would be for the new daemon to grab the port quickly on startup.
I think that Sendmail may do something fancy so that the new daemon is started
before the old one exits.  Perhaps the Sendmail developer could give you a quick
outline on how he did it.
