No, that won't work. After fork() you are only allowed to use
Async-Signal-Safe function until you have used exec(). And fdopen()
and many of the other functions used by the dumper routine are
only MT-safe but not Async-Signal-Safe.

We already had that problem in Milter Greylist, please don't
reintroduce it.

	Kind regards
