I think the way I did this, it will be a no-op if systemd is not running
(or if e.g. spamd is not running *under* systemd). I committed the cron
job yesterday, so I'll hear about it if it doesn't work.

Ah, that sounds like an improvement. It looks like amavisd.service
supports reloading, but spamd.service doesn't. The way we do it in
spamd.init is to send a HUP signal to the spamd process (determined from
its PID file). Google tells me that

  ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

should work...
