+ Postfix has internal access controls that limit activities on the mail queue. By default, all users are allowed to view
+ the queue. If your system is configured with stricter access controls, you need to grant the `netdata` user access to
+ view the mail queue. In order to do it, add `netdata` to `authorized_mailq_users` in the `/etc/postfix/main.cf` file.
+
+ See the `authorized_mailq_users` setting in
+ the [Postfix documentation](https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html) for more details.

+ There are 2 sections:
+
+ * Global variables
+ * One or more JOBS that can define multiple different instances to monitor.
+
+ The following options can be defined globally: priority, penalty, autodetection_retry, update_every, but can also be defined per JOB to override the global values.
+
+ Additionally, the following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured inside a JOB definition.
+
+ Every configuration JOB starts with a `job_name` value which will appear in the dashboard, unless a `name` parameter is specified.
