oh yes god catch !

i only use it on the shell not with an alias and i don't catch this 
problem, there should be a way to escape it so it run each time.
i will see if i can find it when i have 5 minutes before me. anyway you 
can put this shell script:

--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/spamd.pid`
---------------------------------------

in /usr/local/bin and chmod it to 750  and chown root:wheel
this way it will work all the time :p
