That is incorrect. If inet_interfaces is changed, then a "postfix
reload" (not restart) is required because the master daemon is a
long-running process.
Similar considerations apply when changes are made that affect the
queue mamager process (for example, changes that affect concurrency
management).
Other Postfix processes have a finite life time, and will eventually
pick up configuration changes. If you can't wait, then use "postfix
reload".
