This is inaccurate. The above parameter name syntax limitation
exists only with $name or ${name....}, i.e. when a parameter value
is used in another parameter setting. A name can contain any non-space
character with 'name = value' or with master.cf service names.

Would spelling out such intricate rules make Postfix easier to use?
