Update rules settings on the fly

Hi all

Just a quick one...

We're playing around with a custom install at the moment where the rules
might be updated/changed every few minutes as users add to their whitelists
and blacklists etc., etc
My understanding is that to get MS to recognise any new rules we need to
run:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner reload
However, on a busy system, a lot of connections and reconnections to the
database etc., etc. is probably not advisable.

Is there anyway of getting MS to check for new rules without reloading the
entire application?

Michele
