Hm - I talked with Dominik off-list about that - and I argued that the
script needs to be put in place by the admin anyways, and that I'd expect
them to edit /etc/pmg/pmg.conf in place directly (which would not get
noticed by pmgdaemon) - but since
* there might be an use-case where admins disable the custom-check in some
  automated fashion (not that I have a good use-case in mind)
* afaict `pmgconfig sync -restart 1` would also trigger the reload if it's
  added to the list.

TBH - not sure if it will make the UX better for many users, but having a
bit of consistency here might cause fewer confused questions why this
particular setting does not trigger the reload compared to many others.. -
so am not opposed to adding it.
(not sure if we did not simply skip it by mistake when the reload
triggering of smtp-filter was added)
