My logs show cyrmaster received a SIGHUP when I did the reload, if that
helps.

It was very helpful to me; I wasn't sure if reload and force-reload were
the same.  Probably it's obvious if one reads the fine code.

I didn't mean the comment so much for me as for others who submit bugs
against cyrus.  They may find it confusing or off-putting to receive
those bounce messages.  If there's a way to prevent them, that would be
good.  I'm pretty sure other projects also forward their bugs to a
maintainer list; I'm not sure why cyrus seems to behave differently.
