If you're willing to wait until the process in question exits, no, 
reload is not necessary. If you want to be sure to have it NOW, 
indeed, "postfix reload". The same is true of texthash, pcre, and 
regexp maps: map types which are read entirely into memory.

Cdb and hash (indexed maps) do not require a reload.

For changes to a SQL/LDAP query file, see above (reload if you can't 
wait.)

Postfix runs on a lot of systems. If they don't all support 
filenotify, it gets messy to try to make it work for those which are 
different.
