** Description changed: - (I'm putting on the SRU template, but regardless of whether this is SRU- - eligible, fixing this in the development version is obviously the first - step.) + [Impact] - [Impact] This is a regression. While the main purpose of this is to "reread the filter rules", the biggest use by frequency is to reload the SpamAssassin rules. In our production deployment, this happens up to daily--every time their is a SpamAssassin rule update released. Without the ability to use "reread", one must fall back on "restart". That's a disruptive operation that will result in mail being tempfailed for a short period of time. If sysadmins have not noticed this regression, then rule changes are not getting applied properly, though normal slave turnover eventually brings them in. [Test Case] + Steps to reproduce: sudo md-mx-ctrl reread Expected results: Forced reread of filter rules Actual results: Cannot destroy and recreate a Perl interpreter safely on this platform. Filter rules will NOT be reread. [Regression Potential] - The regression potential is small. The patch changes a ./configure test only. The only impact on the application code comes from the SAFE_EMBED_PERL #define being correctly enabled again, which it has been "forever". + + The regression potential is small.
