What I'm worried about is that doing "postfix reload" will cause the
mail server to restart. According to some documentation on this
command, "postfix reload" causes postfix configuration files to be
re-read and running processes will terminate at the earliest
convenience.  Does anyone know if this will affect email services for
users?  There are 900 of them (not 100 like I previously thought) and
I don't want to cause a problem I don't know how to fix :L

Thanks
