I am trying to update postfix main.cf using the commands,

postconf -ev disable_vrfy_command=yes
service postfix reload

but when I check postconf -d I still get disable_vrfy_command=no. I also tried restarting postfix and editing main.cf, and still the same issue. Any ideas why this might be happening?

I am running the command as root

Use this command to check the current parameter values in the configuration:

postconf -p

Or just:

postconf

The command that you have used with the -d option will print the default values. You can also use the -n option to print only the non-default values, to print only what you explicitly changed in the main.cf configuration. See the Ubuntu Manpage on postconf for even more options.

Although this question was posted over a year ago, I am curious where you might have read instructions to use the -d option, because you are not the only one walking into this problem.
