Why is this an issue? You only have to recompile the rules if there is an update and this is only once every week or two even when things are active. I have an update script that runs nightly via cron. It runs sa-update and if there are updates, it runs sa-compile and then restarts spamd. If you are paranoid, you could skip the automatic restart and do the restart manually the next morning. -- Bowie
