Doesn't have to be cron, could be something like cfengine or similar.

The command that does this doesn't have to be "postfix reload". Maybe it's
"pkill -HUP master" or "kill -HUP $(</var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid)".

Andy, please try this:

find /etc -type f -exec grep -H kill.*master {} \;

Also search in /root and /usr/local/bin.
