I found a "Postfix How To" on<http://malwarepatrol.com.br/postfix.txt> which I think is incorrect. It states that Postfix must be reloaded after a change to a "body_checks" file; ie, "body_checks = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/body-deny". I did not think that Postfix had to be reloaded after such a change and I just wanted to confirm if I was correct.
Online tutorials are often incorrect; always refer to the postfix documentation.
body_checks is implemented in cleanup(8); as stated in http://www.postfix.org/cleanup.8.html:
*CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS* Changes to*main.cf* <http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html> are picked up automatically, as *cleanup*(8) <http://www.postfix.org/cleanup.8.html> processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "*postfix reload*" to speed up a change. -- J.
