Research direction
The report identifies /etc/postfix/main.cf and the .cf extension, but no repository file or test. Start by locating filename-based syntax highlighting and the INI-like format definition; done means Postfix .cf buffers are recognized and their configuration syntax is highlighted, with any relevant highlighting check passing.
