It would seem wrong for that parameter to be missing from "postconf -n" output. The top of the postconf manual page describes how multi line parameters work. Basically a line starting with whitespace continues the previous line. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html You also might notice that issuing the command # postconf debugger_command returns the whole value on one line. Or it might return an empty value, in which case there is more than one debugger_command defined in main.cf. > > One thing I am thinking MAY be the problem is that this line in > main.cf fails because of a warning comment in main.cf something to > the concern that if you are using an X-based debugger, you should be > sure to set up your XAUTHORITY environment variable before starting > Postfix. And since this is provided in the base install of Centos > 6, I *hope* they got this right... Looks OK to me. If you're still trying to display non-default parameters, google for the postfinger tool. -- Noel Jones
