Such capability is certainly valuable. Back in the old days
amavisd-new already had such capability, but had to be abandoned
because it was getting increasingly difficult to deal with
pre- and post-defaults, and later with all the newly added composite
settings (_maps, policy banks, per-content-category settings).
20030314:
- temporarily removed utility amavisdconf, it is not yet updated to cope
with the new configuration variables;
20021227:
- New utility program 'amavisdconf' to check the values of configurable
variables set by /etc/amavisd.conf or defaulted (modeled after
Postfix utility 'postconf', but -e option is not yet supported).
Usage:
amavisdconf [-d | -n] [-c conf-file] [variable]
Options:
(none) show the value as will be used by amavisd;
-d show default value as in the absence of the config file;
-n only show variable if its value is different from the default;
-c conf-file ... use the specified file instead of /etc/amavisd.conf
If a variable is specified show only that variable, otherwise show all
configurable variables. (Note: the leading $, @ or % must be included
with the variable. Make sure to protect $ from shell evaluation,
e.g. by enclosing variable name in single quotes, or prepending
a backslash:
$ amavisdconf -d '$forward_method'
$ amavisdconf -n
This is the first attempt at such a utility, some details would need
to be polished (e.g. how to report code reference), but it is hoped
to be usable already in its present form.
