Thanks. I would like the ASSP to be able to restart itself, however. I guess I will look into modifying my configuration to run as root. I have ASSP running as an "assp" user, so that its possible to log in via Samba and groom the spam and notspam folders, etc. I'm generally averse to allowing root login for things, but maybe in this case I should bend that rule.
