For all practical purposes, you can't.

The closest you can get is to send spamd a SIGHUP, which is more-or-less
the same as restarting it. (ie: spamd's PID may change)

Spamd will re-read user_prefs files on a per-message basis, but in order
to achieve a reasonable level of efficiency, all of the .pre and .cf
files are only read at startup.
