need to restart spamassassin after modifying rules?

Hi - I'm using a setup on many servers that is pretty much sendmail + mailscanner + spamassassin + sophos (mailscanner calls spamassassin and sophos)

My question is, if I modify /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or place a new file in /etc/mail/spamassassin - do i need to restart mail scanner or are those config files re-read every time an email is processed (which would appear to be a waste of resources?)

Thanks
