Thanks Curtis and Michael. I have now implemented this. In Ubuntu
18.04 the systemd service is just calling /etc/init.d/amavis (SysV) so
this is what needed changing by adding the reload option. I attach a
patch for this file (/etc/init.d/amavis), after applying it do
'systemctl daemon-reload' so that 'systemctl reload-or-restart amavis'
will do a warm reload of amavis instead of the full shutdown/start.
If it is working the first log entry for the action will show '(warm)':
2019-02-13 10:10:42 streamingbats amavis[30715]: starting. (warm)
/usr/sbin/amavisd-new at streamingbats.co.uk amavisd-new-2.11.0

>From Patrick's reply to another question I take it that reloading
amavis *is* required after updating any SA configs.
