		How to
- Find where the config files are:
- postconf <setting_name>, where <setting_name> is one of the following:- alias_databasefilespec for the main alias database ("hash:" just means a text file)
- alias_mapsseems to be the same thing?
- config_directory: main folder where config files are stored (typically- /etc/postfix)
- mydomain: not sure what this specifically does, but it seems significant
- myhostname: internet domain name for the server
- myorigin: I think this sets the "from" address in outgoing mail (typically- /etc/mailname)
- virtual_alias_maps: alias maps for virtual domains, same format as- alias_maps(typically- hash:/etc/postfix/virtual)
 
- postconf -nwill show any settings which have been changed from their defaults
- postconfwill show a (long) list of all settings, which can either be dumped to a file for searching or viewed in a scrollable way with- postconf | less
