PS: steve you have more or less a "postconf -d" main.cf with few changes ?

to solve this:

postconf -d >main.cf.default
postconf -n >main.cf.changed
diff -u main.cf.default main.cf.changed >main.cf.patch

if the patch is over 100 lines, then start with a empty main.cf now

if less then 100 lines, keep the +lines in main.cf and delete lines  
that match elsewhere

and only add lines to main.cf that need to be changed from what  
postconf -d gives
