http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html ... -o name=value Override the named main.cf configuration parameter. The parameter value can refer to other parameters as $name etc., just like in main.cf. See postconf(5) for syntax. NOTE 1: do not specify whitespace around the "=". In parameter values, either avoid whitespace altogether, use commas instead of ===>> spaces, or consider overrides like "-o ===>> name=$override_parameter" with $over- ===>> ride_parameter set in main.cf. NOTE 2: Over-zealous use of parameter over- rides makes the Postfix configuration hard to understand and maintain. At a certain point, it might be easier to configure mul- tiple instances of Postfix, instead of con- figuring multiple personalities via mas- ter.cf. http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html Finally, no client software cares what your banner says beyond the minimal: 220 server.example.com ESMTP So banner customization is almost always pointless. -- Viktor.
