I am back to building a new mailserver. I am using Centos7 which has

Back some 4 years ago there was a thread here to add support to
postconf to manage master.cf. From
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.1.html
It seems that there are now options here for master.cf, but I cannot
find any guidance on using this. My search foo is notoriously weak;
my searching this list has not found any discussion on this since 1/13.
I found one blog that uses 'postconf -P', but I see that the -P option
came out in postfix 2.11
Is there guidance to using postconf to manage master.cf?
thank you
According to the documentation located on
ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/index.html
the 2.10.1 version is no longer supported. I know nothing about
Centos7; however, wouldn't it be possible to use a newer version of
Postfix, the latest being Postfix 3.2 I believe.
This is one of the 'joys' of working with Centos/Redhat. You are always
'back-leveled'. But then the work is on them to apply patches and keep
rpms 'safe'. All I have to do, is update. Thus the only real
justification is if there are functions/features really needed. IMNSHO.
But this is not the point. In fact, if there is no guidance on how to
use postconf for managing master.cf, it really does not matter which
version of postfix I use. Just maintain master.cf as we always have.
There is a nice http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html write up on
maintaining main.cf, but not on master.cf.
