postconf -n shows you non-default configuration, but there's no way to
read it from a running process. Most parameters are used by daemons that
are short-lived; new instances pick up new configuration automatically.
To expedite a change, issue a 'postfix reload'. See postconf(5) for
further information on when specific parameters will take effect.

Of course not. Postfix allows you to define your own parameters; as long
as you don't break the syntax rules, it's perfectly valid.
