[BlueOnyx:26009] service restart after letsencrypt renewal

Hi,
Just had 5210R that renewed properly its letsencrypt cert on 26. Feb.
Today I found that dovecot was still using the old cert and that expired
today. A restart of dovecot solved that quickly. Though everything else
(sendmail, adm-srv, apache) was already using the new cert.
In /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log I saw that the script
/usr/sausalito/sbin/reload_webservers.pl gets called after successful
renewal, but that one seems to only restart the web- and adm-server to
use the renewed certificate.
On the other hand, I never saw this problem before and I am using quite
a few LE certs with dovecot on BlueOnyx so I was wondering if something
else triggers a reload of dovecot upon renewal and that failed here or I
was just lucky until now because something else (like changes in the
GUI) always triggered a reload/restart of dovecot before the old cert
could expire.
Thanks for any insight or hints on this,
Christoph
