I have edited the custom.cf file on one of the servers. I know that file is synced between all of the servers in the cluster. My question is, is there a way to restart pmg-smtp-filter on all of the servers without having to run it on all of them?

This should happen automatically during cluster sync?
please check the logs for a reload of pmg-smtp-filter
 
looks like there is a 'Filter daemon (re)started' at around 3am every day and then a 'reloading configuration Proxmox_ruledb' about every hour. Are one of these what you are talking about? If so, how do I know that my rule hasn't broken pmg-smtp-filter?

There should have been a restart of pmg-smtp-filter after the first cluster synchronization (done by pmgmirror) after you changed the custom.cf - I just verified this here - these are the logs:
