Description Dwight Tuinstra 2006-01-18 03:38:00 UTC

/etc/postfix/main.cf contains a setting for a "program_directory" variable (set to /usr/lib/postfix). This variable is not in the list returned by "postconf -d". Attempting to request it using "postconf program_directory" results in the message "postconf: warning: program_directory: unknown parameter". Same message occurs when trying "postconf -d program_directory".

From googling on "postfix program_directory" it appears the setting once existed but is now obsolete (the search hits mentioned it being deprecated IIRC).

I have not tried removing it to see the effect on postfix: I discovered this while configuring postfix on a soon-to-be-production machine.
