I add to main.cf: # match text in delay message to the setting delay_warning_time = 15m delay_warning_time_hours = 0.25 but then: # postfix reload /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: delay_warning_time_hours=0.25 .. yet this parameter is used in the default bounce template as shown by postconf -t. (Still I am not using a bespoke bounce template file, maybe I have to, even if it is identical to the default, to make this warning message go away?)
