2) How does MimeDefang deal with the situation that
clamd socket file is deleted by either clamd when
it shuts down, or the init script when it executes
a "stop" operation?
If you look at entity_contains_virus_clamd() in mimedefang.pl,
you'll see that the socket is opened for each request.
3) Per the bug report above, the clamav developer states:
"clamdscan --reload will reload the DB, and so
will SIGUSR2. There is no command to reload the
config file, which is probably what the initscript
wants to do with reload."
Is there a Linux/Unix guideline that states something
along the lines that a init.d controlled service
must interpret "reload" narrowly to only reload the
config. file, or is it acceptable to also clear
caches, reload databases, etc.?

"
reload cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded without
actually stopping and restarting the service
"
you are free to argue, whether its databases are "configuration", IMHO.
Same for to clear cache.
