restart sequence after changing configuration
As I understand the situation when using amavis/spamassassin/postfix the
flow of a messages is that it is received by postfix, passed to amavisd,
from there to clamav, then to spamassassin and then back to postfix. My
questions are:
1. is this correct?
2. if I change spamassasin's local.cf or user_prefs, what needs to be
restarted and in what sequence/
3. if I change amavisd.conf what needs restarting/reloading, etc and in what
sequence?
Thanks,
mike

amavisd-new loads the spamassassin perl modules itself, if you are
running amavisd-new you don't need to run spamd.
Restarting amavisd-new will cause local.cf to be re-read, however much
of user_prefs is not used by amavis, so you should look at the settings
in amavisd.conf first.
You can restart amavisd-new without restarting postfix.
