I occasionally make changes to the local.cf for custom scores and
rules and I would obviously need to restart SA. A few times in the

I were to prevent this from happening in the future, would I first
stop my MTA, restart SA, and start my MTA again? Will this cause
anyone other problems with undelivered mail, especially outgoing?
Note, I usually restart during the day after adding rules/scores.
Something like this?
/etc/init.d/postfix stop && /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart &&
/etc/init.d/postfix start
Could you not simply set a combination of --connect-retries and
--retry-sleep that's high enough to cover the downtime?
I could try that. These arguments are for spamc, so I would need to put
them in /etc/postfix/master.cf?
[r...@host ~]# cat /etc/postfix/master.cf
--cut--
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
user=xxxx
argv=/usr/bin/spamc
-e /usr/sbin/sendmail
-oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
