Indeed, changing my amavisd.conf from root:root 0640 to root:amavis 0640 allowed me to keep prying eyes from amavisd.conf and allowed 'amavisd reload' to function as designed in my various setups. I understand that repurposing 'reload' is the only logical choice for the command, but I imagine there are a lot of people who place the command in scripts (amavisd reload after sa-update for example) that may encounter the same issue I had. Like me, people don't always read the release notes, or when they do, they tend to skim through them looking for salient points and don't immediately recognize the implications of a change of this nature.
