amavisd-new loads the spamassassin perl modules itself, if you are
running amavisd-new you don't need to run spamd.

Restarting amavisd-new will cause local.cf to be re-read, however much
of user_prefs is not used by amavis, so you should look at the settings
in amavisd.conf first.

You can restart amavisd-new without restarting postfix.
