The ACME protocol that LE uses has a specific feature for specifying a script to run after a certificate updates. One of the common things to do in these scripts is to restart services like apache and dovecot so they see the new certs. Other common actions are copying the certs to specific locations on the system (like, say, into jails) or even to other hardware.

This is the best, most reliable, and least fiddly solution.
