Postfix's master uses also the -c option. But -c config_dir, because Postfix searches its main.cf and master.cf configuration files in the given config_dir.

Each instance has its own configuration/data/spool directories with all instance specific files. And yes, a `postconf -n` for one the multi instances is more complex than a simple `dovecot -n -c /path/to/funny-name.conf`. Looks like this: postmulti -i $INSTANCE_NAME -x postconf -n Regards; Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: face1e55.1000...@localdomain.org
