And as I've stated several times before, spamassassin *DOES* run. Always. It's just whether or not it's doing anything useful. When it can't talk to the sockets, it's dead in the water.

Interesting. Never came across that one. In my case if the socket is busy, spamd dies upon start. How do you restart the spamassassin. I use "service".
Amavis uses SA in object mode. This problem is related to bugs in amavis startup, shutdown routines.
NOTE: I'm not trying to report a bug in SA. It was a comment that inline configuration reloading on SA's part would make it more seamless. (and in this case I could avoid bugs with the package I use that calls it)
