The smtp(8) manpage SYNOPSIS reads:
smtp [generic Postfix daemon options]
This is then seen again in:
SEE ALSO
...
master(5), generic daemon options
...
That manpage reads:
...
The following command-line options have the same effect for all daemon
programs:
...
-v Increase the verbose logging level. Specify multiple -v
options to make a Postfix daemon process
increasingly verbose.

Equivalent to "-v -v"

Equivalent to "-v"

No, the minimum acceptable value is 1. It makes no sense to set it to zero.

As high as your platform's INTMAX, but in practice all but first few values
are equivalent to maximum verbosity. (Currently anything over 3 is equivalent
to 3, but this is not set in stone).

There is no such documentation, the debug levels are subject to change without
notice. They're debugging aids, not stable interfaces. You can try "1" and
if that's not enough then "2". Avoid "3" or higher, you won't like the results.
