There is just one problem - now parent preloads modules as root and this runs
certain initialization routines. In particular it will initialize pyzor and
razor as root.  While it is debatable if this is ok to do as root it also
creates files as root in spamuser directory (-u spamuser -x) - .pyzor/, .razor/.
 This is not usually a problem when -x and -u are not used as spamd will su to
user running spamc and never use those files.  With -u spamuser -x they are
shared and children will not be able to write to them. 

Any modules that might create files during initial load might suffer from the
same problem.  

Pid file is written before rights are given up.  Config files are usually 644 or
can be made group owned by specified user or similar.

Good point about SIGHUP though I personally will give up on it.
