Hm... I wouldn't recommend that. During the 17 seconds it took to reload "C" filter databases, I only had one "432 Mail filters temporarily unavailable". Of course, stopping and restarting pythonfilter alone would have taken much less. Short as that time might have been, messages with bad attachments would have slipped through unfiltered in the meanwhile. Ale --
