I'm trying to edit the message_size_limt. I did not see one in the main.cf file but doing a... postconf -d | grep message_size_limit ... or a... postconf message_size_limit ...both showed... message_size_limit = 10240000 So I went into the main.cf file and added a line... message_size_limit = 104857600 Now when I do a... postconf message_size_limit ... I get... message_size_limit = 104857600 ... but when I do a... postconf -d | grep message_size_limit ... I still get... message_size_limit = 10240000 What would cause this? This still happens after reloading Postfix or restarting. Why would it show different information? Isn't it looking at the same data loaded from the main.cf file?
Please have a look at the postconf manpage: postconf -d Print default parameter settings instead of actual settings.
As Till said Code: postconf -d shows the default settings which are overridden by the settings in your main.cf so everything's fine. You can run Code: postconf -n to find out the actual settings.
