[demiurgen]

It's not there because you haven't put it in there. Postfix (and most linux applications) will use default settings if entries don't exist.

Try adding it and then running postconf -d - this will tell you waht all settings are.

(Sorry foxylad - I seem to be following you around here!)

Note that postconf -d will list the default values of all settings so if you've added a particular directive this won't be reflected in the list (postconf -n will however show this, if it's been set).
