You're right. The only "inheritance" is that at instance creation time "installation parameters" (daemon_directory, command_directory, ...) are copied into the initial main.cf files of new instances. This is if instances are created via "postmulti -e create". If one creates their main.cf files by hand, there is no "inheritance" of any kind. -- Viktor.
