It's intended to be referenced at boot time, but it's often not very difficult to figure out what is supposed to happen. With something as important as starting up a mailer, I recommend a quick reboot just to be sure that it will start back up properly if you should, say, have an unplanned outage tonight. But the risk assessment depends on your particular situation.
