| And from experience, I also know that 
| "rcpthosts" and "badmailfrom" are reread on the fly.

This is because they are read by qmail-smtpd, and a new copy of that
program is run on each incoming SMTP connection.

| My impression is that, except for what is documented to the
| contrary, most files are reread on the fly.

Only those read by programs that, like qmail-smtpd, are being run
afresh on demand: qmail-remote, qmail-inject, qmail-qmqpc.  Which
leaves only qmail-send; see the qmail-control manual page.  So yes,
your impression is correct, since the qmail-send manual page contains
an explicit warning about this.
