    POSTCONF(1)                                           POSTCONF(1)

    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. Mul-
                  tiple  -v  options  make  the software increasingly
                  verbose.

    DIAGNOSTICS
           Problems are reported to the standard error stream.
