A "reload" will do. If the "ps ax" command lists all the MailScanner
processes as having parent PID of, say, 1234, then type this:
         kill -HUP -1234
as that will force all the  child processes to restart and re-read their
configuration.

If you don't want to do that, then the child processes restart themselves
every 4 hours by default (see "Restart Every" in MailScanner.conf) at which
point they will re-read their configuration anyway.

A few advanced SpamAssassin configuration options actually require a full
restart of MailScanner, but that's pretty rare.
