is rumored to have said:

I recently had an issue where mail was temporarily rejected because clamav-milter/spamass-milter could not connect to clamd/spamd. Clamd/Spamd are a tasks that can automatically change hosts and thus their ips. A simple restart of the milter fixes this (resolves the new ip).

However, it would be nice if something could be added to the milter code that, if it can't contact spamd, it tries to re-resolve the ip address automatically.

That would be an interesting feature in a milter. You should suggest it to the developers of whichever milter(s) you are using. The ASF SpamAssassin project does not maintain any milters, but there may be people on this list who use the same tool can help you.

ps. as you can deduct from the text I am not a 100% sure which milter caused this actually.

Are you not aware of IP changes by spamd?

pps. even nicer would be, the ability to use srv records and use dynamic ports.

Sounds great. Out of scope for SA itself, but it would be fine for a milter.
