CDIST-TYPE__POSTFIX_POSTCONF(7)

πŸ’– cdist-type__postfix_postconf πŸ’–

okay bestie so this is the cdist-type__postfix_postconf manual page, and it's giving configure postfix main.cf energy, like, that's literally its whole job πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__postfix_postconf β€” bestie this configures your postfix main.cf, no cap πŸŽ€


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

important vibe check: this type does NOT quietly edit /etc/postfix/main.cf behind your back. it directly runs the postconf executable. that's the whole move. it doesn't touch the file itself, it just runs the binary and lets it do its thing 🫢

πŸ‘‘ REQUIRED PARAMETERS πŸ‘‘

  • value β€” the value for the postfix parameter πŸ’– yes you actually have to tell it what you want, it's not gonna guess bestie

πŸ¦‹ OPTIONAL PARAMETERS πŸ¦‹

  • key β€” the name of the parameter. defaults to __object_id if you don't say anything, which is lowkey iconic of it 🌈

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

the way these are so simple?? obsessed 😭

__postfix_postconf mydomain --value somedomain.com

__postfix_postconf bind-to-special-ip --key smtp_bind_address --value 127.0.0.5

first one: parameter name comes from the object id (mydomain), value is somedomain.com. slay.

second one: you're being extra specific with --key smtp_bind_address and binding to 127.0.0.5. main character energy fr πŸ’…
