So I've been putting up with this for a few years, and just recently sat down 
and tried to figure this out.   I've now tried every possible way of 
redirecting from the shell, and no matter what I always get the following 
output to stderr.

# /usr/local/sbin/amavisd reload 2>&1 1>/dev/null
Daemon [14925] terminated by SIGTERM, waiting for dust to settle...
becoming a new daemon...

I haven't dug into the code, but it's clear that amavisd is resetting stderr 
and writing directly to it.   Why?

And in particular, it would be nice to have a "--quiet" or another option to 
just have it return a result code as to whether or not the reload/restart was 
successful.   For use in sa-update scripts, obviously ;-)
