Razor discover reload question

[Alex Neuman]

.cf rules and razor have to do with SpamAssassin, which I thought got loaded
once for every batch of messages scanned.

My idea was that if you changed a rule or did a pyzor/razor discover and/or
changed/added .cf rules then the next batch would get the changes
implementes.

If what you say is true then I have a lot of work to do... ;)

Subject: Razor discover reload question


I have a cron job that does a Razor discover every two hours. On occasion
though, I see MS throughput drop WAY down and my queue of mail waiting to be
scanned grows very large.

When this happens, I have verified that RAZOR is no longer functioning (no
RAZOR entries in the logged spam), and SA is taking a long time to finish a
batch scan due to RAZOR having to time out.

When this happens, my assumption is that the Razor server is not responding.
If I stop and then restart MS, it takes right off emptying the queue, and
many RAZOR entries are seen in the log. This would indicate that the Razor
server is functioning just fine now. All I did was stop and restart MS.

So, my question is this. When the Razor discover job runs in cron and
updates the Razor server list, do I need to reload MS so that it reads the
updated server list? I know that if I change any .cf rule file I have to
reload MS so that it sees the changes, is this true for the Razor server
list also?

Thanks!
