qmgr terminates voluntarily when the virtual map changes (or any
other lookup table that is used by the queue manager). In that case
the queue manager logs the following:

  Apr 19 17:23:51 myhostname postfix/qmgr[1344]: table has changed -- exiting

qmgr terminates voluntarily when you type a "postfix reload" command.
In this case, the master logs the following:

  Apr 19 17:23:25 myhostname postfix/master[281]: reload configuration

In all other cases the termination of qmgr is involuntary, and
either the master daemon logs a warning that something killed qmgr,
or the qmgr screams loudly before aborting.

Postfix does not give up that easily.
