Can someone confirm that we only need to postmap something and not restart the 
entire subsystem? At least, that's been my understanding for years anyway.

All versions of postfix (at least since 1.0 anyway, and probably before that) will automatically recognize changes to hash: type files.

Other file types may require a "postfix reload" or may be picked up "eventually". See the docs for that specific file type.
