Running dovecot 2.2, apologies if this question has been asked before: I've done the research but couldn't find anything.

I run a server that uses dovecot as a MUA for Postfix and have a Let's Encrypt certificate that auto-renews through certbot on Ubuntu server 16.04. Dovecot did not pick up on the new certificate for the hostname. It did after a restart. To be clear: Let's Encrypt overwrites the previous certificate using the same path and filename. Am I right to assume that Dovecot needs a reload/restart after the certificate has been renewed in order to 'pick up' on the new certificate and if so, would I require a reload or a restart?

Thank you in advance
