Joxi, I've not tested but maybe we should simply do a reload postfix (SIGHUP) when a new mail account is added and not do a restart (stop - start so SIGTERM) ? have you the time to test the behavior ?

Code:

Signals:

       SIGHUP Upon  receipt of a HUP signal (e.g., after "postfix
              reload"), the master process re-reads its  configu-
              ration  files.  If  a service has been removed from
              the master.cf file, its running processes are  ter-
              minated  immediately.  [b]Otherwise, running processes
              are allowed to terminate as soon as is  convenient,
              so  that  changes  in configuration settings affect
              only new service requests.[/b]

       SIGTERM
              Upon receipt of a TERM signal (e.g., after "postfix
              abort"), the master process passes the signal on to
              its child processes and terminates.  This is useful
              for  an emergency shutdown. Normally one would ter-
              minate only the master ("postfix stop")  and  allow
              running processes to finish what they are doing.
