Fixed in Postfix 2.9.

ARGH!!! :)
I will submit this to the Centos list and see what they do with it.
Thanks Wietse.
BTW, is this only a problem with reporting debugger_command or is
debugger_command broken until 2.9?
This is a limitation of old postconf implementations, and it is
unlikely that it will be patched (it may be sufficient to add an
entry to postconf/install_table.h and postconf/install_vars.h).
The Postfix 2.9 implementation is a complete rewrite that reports
debugger_command and more importantly, warns about unused parameters
in main.cf or master.cf (typically typos).
Nice.
Postfix 2.10 brings incremental improvements: postconf reports the
expansion of $name in parameter values, reports parameters that
can't be set in main.cf (process_name, process_id), warns about
attempts to set such read-only parameters, and warns about an unknown
$name in parameter values (typically typos).
All this will help with Postfix troubleshooting and support. Folks
that run four-year old code will have something to look forward to.
Right now I am trying to stay with what Centos 6.3 is shipping with.
Perhaps that is risky, but this is a low usage server with a few
domains and a couple handful of users.
My current server is built on F12 with a custom built postfix to add
the quota patch. I just checked and that is running 2.6.5; thus I
have instructions on how to build postfix from source. This is part of
why I want 'stock' rpms and a stable OS base. Right now I need to
rebuild on a new OS platform, either F18 which will ship shortly or
Centos 6.3.
I really appreciate all you have done here.
Don't submit it to the CentOS list. CentOS is a direct copy, as much as
possible of Redhat. You would need to report this to Redhat and get them
to do the updates before it would make it out to CentOS. You may however
find a repo with a newer version available.
