Thanks for the replies... My MailScanner is set to restart once a day, and the problem I see happens a few times, but every day...
My question was more related to the general behaviour of SpamAssassin checks: I understand it could timeout, but I'd expect that the rules written in the local.cf file are read anyway. I have written some basic rules that match single words, and sometimes messages that contains one of these words pass anyway, because they are not detect as being spam. I thought that reading the local.cf file could be made regardless timeouts... Thanks anyway for the support.
