Hi,

Currently, the daemon has an active loop. It calls select with a 2 
seconds timeout, just to to be sure that no signal was raised.
This could be avoided. I choose the self-pipe trick, cause it's the 
solution that integrate the most with the current code.
Using pselect would have meant blocking signals just before the call, 
and would have needed a re-enabling in the process request. I didn't 
have the time to appreciate the impact of that.

This has been submitted upstream on 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3607521&group_id=250683&atid=1126467
I just hope that Debian packagers are faster than dspam main development 
team :)
