No. the only output of the script is the one in the 'echo' line: it only
prints anything if the value is the same in main.cf and in `postconf
-d`.  To see local settings, use 'postconf -n'. that's its job.

If you really insist, here is a modified version of the script:

postconf -n | while read parameter equal value; do
      default_value=`postconf -d $parameter 2>&1`;
       if [ "$value" = "$default_value" ]; then
              echo "NOTICE: Useless setting: $parameter = $value";
      else
              echo "$parameter = $value"
      fi;
done

but this is too complex for the task.
