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.
Kind of like what dogs hear when humans speak to them:
blah blah blah blah Lassie blah blah blah
