That makes sense. In my own case, I started with MD on Ubuntu 14.04 (MD v2.73). The documentation I found said to use "/etc/init.d/mimedefang reread" after changes to the filter file. But that had no effect (that I could see). So I started using "/etc/init.d/mimedefang restart". Once I got things working, I installed on Ubuntu 16.04 (v2.78). Ubuntu 16.04 uses systemd. So I simply converted to "systemctl restart mimedefang". And that's when I saw the problem caused by no "wait"ing. BTW, in Ubuntu 16.04: -- systemctl reread mimedefang results in "Unknown operation reread" -- systemctl reload mimedefang does run. But I haven't tested to see if it actually picks up the changes to the filter file. I wonder: Is the Debian package maintainer on this list? We seem to be speculating on questions that the packager could answer definitively.
