To update the main.cf file, update the main.cf file. Its contents are cached, so to effect changes in parameters used by long-running services, you must reload. Most Postfix services (i.e. delivery agents and inet services) restart automatically after processing a ~100 requests, and reloads are not generally needed for parameters that touch these services. The only dynamic component of Postfix configuration is lookup tables, for rewriting, and domain lists, ... -- Viktor.

You'd still have to make it reload for rebuilding the whole file. I was hoping there was something that it would understand as dynamic. But I guess lookup maps are the only way to do that. At least that's all I see so far in the docs.

Hmmm. Maybe that explains some odd behaviour I've seen in the past and not been able to reproduce. I have moved new versions of main.cf and/or master.cf into place in preparation of reload or restart or reboot, but didn't do that for an hour or so (to let users know). Maybe parts of Postfix did that, and there was some inconsistency between different parts.
