You can chase these with something like:

I have been running this against the base Centos 6 install that has
a main.cf with lots of comments and a few parameter lines.
postconf -n shows about 20 parameters, and when I compare these
against postconf -d only 9 of them are different.
That sounds about right. A basic postfix install needs only a few
non-default settings.
parameters like mailq_path is now /usr/bin/mailq.postfix and the
default is /usr/bin/mailq
sounds reasonable.
I look at the script and I am not able to tell what is wrong; can
you help me get it right? I think this is a real useful tool.
It's unclear what problem you are having. Please explain.
When I run the script shown above, there is no output. Yet I know there
are lines in the main.cf that differ from the defaults. That is there
are 9 lines shown in the -n option that are different from shown in the
-d option. I would think that the above script should have printed
those lines.
I ran the script both as me and as root.
