       The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this program.  The text below provides only a
       parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.

       config_directory(see'postconf-d'output)
              The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.

       application_event_drain_time(100s)
              How long the postkick(1) command waits for a request to enter the  Postfix  daemon  process  input
              buffer before giving up.

       import_environment(see'postconf-d'output)
              The list of environment variables that a privileged Postfix process will import from a non-Postfix
              parent process, or name=value environment overrides.

       queue_directory(see'postconf-d'output)
              The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.

       The  postkick(1)  command  sends  request  to the specified service over a local transport channel.  This
       command makes Postfix private IPC accessible for use in, for example, shell scripts.

       Options:

       -cconfig_dir
              Read the main.cf configuration file in the named directory instead of  the  default  configuration
              directory.

       -v     Enable  verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the software increasingly
              verbose.

       Arguments:

       class  Name of a class of local transport channel endpoints, either public (accessible by any local user)
              or private (administrative access only).

       service
              The name of a local transport endpoint within the named class.

       request
              A string. The list of valid requests is service-specific.

       Problems and transactions are logged to the standard error stream.

MAIL_CONFIG
              Directory with Postfix configuration files.

       MAIL_VERBOSE
              Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes.

       /var/spool/postfix/private, private class endpoints
       /var/spool/postfix/public, public class endpoints
