@Murray:
Thanks for the proposal, SIGUSR1 would be appropriate. I just opened a 
feature request.

If the dkim-connector project matures (I think this will depend on the 
feedback of users - we don't have much of it at time) we should transfer 
this project to sourceforge and use the SF-tools including the mailing list 
feature.

In dkim-connector we need some uniform way to reload dkim-filter - e.g. 
there is no service command on my Debian system.
In addition open connections to dkim-milter could possibly remain while the 
configuration is reloaded.
