No it doesn't. Where did you get the idea from that "postconf -o body_checks=whatever" shows the actual value of body_checks? In reality, "postconf -o name=value" sets the "name" parameter *internaly* in the postconf command, so that you can see the effect that it would have if used as $name in other config parameters. Like: postconf -x -o stress=yes Shows the values of OTHER parameters whose value depends on stress. It does not show the settings in main.cf or master.cf. Wietse
