Hi,
For this part :

“On Linux, this works correctly only with interfaces specified with the 
ifconfig command”

I think they are saying you can find valid interface names using the ifconfig 
command.
The new way in RHEL 7  is  "ip addr" replaces  "ifconfig".

This:
does that mean that network settings specified with newer commands that replace 
ifconfig will not work ?

Sounds like a linux question and not a postfix one.
What "commands" are you referring to ?

Subject: Questions about mynetworks_style parameter in main.cf

Hello,

I have two questions regarding the “mynetworks_style” parameter in main.cf.

In man I see that the “subnet” option for “mynetworks_style” is listed as being 
supported in Postfix < 3.0.  Does this mean that post-Postfix 3.0 this option 
is deprecated ?

I also note that the “subnet” option is listed as working on Linux with the 
following caveat:

“On Linux, this works correctly only with interfaces specified with the 
ifconfig command”

With ifconfig being deprecated on Linux, does that mean that network settings 
specified with newer commands that replace ifconfig will not work ?

Thanks,

- J
