could always set up a cronjob to killall -HUP MailScanner every other hour,
for example. Settings would be reloaded, wouldn't they?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

email?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=453380720-23032004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got my
scripts pretty much ironed out so that a user can simply forward a spam
message to an email address, have the spam email added to the blacklist and
then sent a confirmation. What I'd like to also do is have the script reload
the MailScanner service. Since this is being done via the user 'mail', can
anyone give me some tips on the best way to accomplish this. So far I'm
thinking of using SUDO to allow 'mail' to run 'kill' and
/etc/init.d/MailScanner? Is there a better and/or more secure
way?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
