I have to restart spamd within a couple of minutes after restarting syslogd with the init script or it will crash the system. However doing a killall -HUP syslogd has no affect on spamd and it continues logging. I know of no other applications that would crash a system as a result of a syslog restart, but then not many applicationss are going to spawn processess as fast as spamassassin does on a high volume mailserver. Its not that big of a problem to use -HUP instead of the restart script during log rotation, etc.

That's the better way to do it anyway. I would change the init script parameter to _reload_, instead of using _restart_. On my Debian installation I simply use "/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload" without problems. Otherwise, as had been mentioned previously, you'd have to restart spamd...
