.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The Postfix main.cf configuration file specifies a small subset
|
|
of all the parameters that control the operation of the Postfix
|
|
mail system. Parameters not specified in main.cf are left at their
|
|
default values.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The general format of the main.cf file is as follows:
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
Each logical line has the form "parameter = value".
|
|
Whitespace around the "=" is ignored, as is whitespace at the
|
|
end of a logical line.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines
|
|
whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts
|
|
with whitespace continues a logical line.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
A parameter value may refer to other parameters.
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
The expressions "$name", "${name}" or "$(name)" are
|
|
recursively replaced by the value of the named parameter.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
The expression "${name?value}" expands to "value" when
|
|
"$name" is non-empty. This form is supported with Postfix
|
|
version 2.2 and later.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
The expression "${name:value}" expands to "value" when
|
|
"$name" is empty. This form is supported with Postfix
|
|
version 2.2 and later.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
When the same parameter is defined multiple times, only the last
|
|
instance is remembered.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
Otherwise, the order of main.cf parameter definitions does not matter.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The remainder of this document is a description of all Postfix
|
|
configuration parameters. Default values are shown after the
|
|
parameter name in parentheses, and can be looked up with the
|
|
"\fBpostconf -d\fR" command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note: this is not an invitation to make changes to Postfix
|
|
configuration parameters. Unnecessary changes can impair the
|
|
operation of the mail system.
