Yes.

Yes.

queue/postfix-queue doesn't use any port. It attempts to open
/var/spool/postfix/public/cleanup (which normally is a unix socket,
writable to the group postdrop (which means that qpsmtpd must run as a
user who is a member of this group).

If your postfix setup uses a different filename for the cleanup socket,
you can either specify in the pathname in config/plugins:

  # Add in Postfix queue plugin
  queue/postfix-queue /path/to/postfix/cleanup

or set the environment variable POSTFIXQUEUE.


If you mean the port that qpsmtp listens to, how you set that depends on
how you start qpsmtpd. If you use forkserver, that would be the -p
option.
