NAME
postconf - Postfix configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
postconf [-dhmlnv] [-c config_dir] [parameter ...]
postconf [-ev] [-c config_dir] [parameter=value ...]
DESCRIPTION
The postconf command prints the actual value of parameter
(all known parameters by default), one parameter per line,
changes its value, or prints other information about the
Postfix mail system.
Options:
-c config_dir
The main.cf configuration file is in the named
directory instead of the default configuration
directory.
-d Print default parameter settings instead of actual
settings.
-e Edit the main.cf configuration file. The file is
copied to a temporary file then renamed into place.
Parameters and values are specified on the command
line. Use quotes in order to protect shell
metacharacters and whitespace.
-h Show parameter values only, not the ``name = ''
label that normally precedes the value.
-l List the names of all supported mailbox locking
methods.
-m List the names of all supported lookup table types.
-n Print non-default parameter settings only.
-v Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple
-v options make the software increasingly
verbose.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems are reported to the standard error stream.
