Quick followup.  I added SARE_FRAUD to the rules_du_jour mix and ran
rules_du_jour from the CLI.  It hosed MailScanner.

As it usually does, it attempts to send a notice to postmaster after an
update.  As you can see from the above line, localhost refused the
connection, even from itself.

Is there a way to disable the restart in rules_du_jour?  I'm supposing
that the new rules will be picked up when MailScanner kills off it's
child processes and restarts them.  It may take up to four hours to take
affect, but I can live with that, so long as the rest of the system is
still working.

Is there anything that changed significantly between 4.48 and 4.55 that
would cause this behaviour?
