           Summary: enhancement: modify spamd to monitor changes to
                    /etc/mail/spamassassin and relogd config
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gary@intrepid.com


For installations that run spamd, it is inconvenient and error-prone to have to 
remember to restart spamd after changes have been made to local.cf and related 
configuration (*.cf) files located in the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory.

Some systems are capable of supporting file alteration alerts, which can be 
used to tell spamassassin when files within the /etc/mail/spamassassin 
directory have been modified.

For example, this CPAN module interfaces to SGI's FAM subsystem (which is 
available for Irix and Linux):
http://search.cpan.org/~jglick/SGI-FAM-1.002/lib/SGI/FAM.pm

(see man fam(3) on most newer Linux systems, and
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ for details)

As an enhancement, modify spamd to automatically monitor
changes to its config files and config directory, and automatically
reload the configuration files after they have been changed.

(possible problem: if the files are changed via a copy command, it
may take a second/two before the contents of the directory are stable.)
