That's rather convoluted, what's wrong with:
postconf -e "mydomain = $your_domain_tld"
postconf -e "myhostname = $your_host_tld"
Or when doing both:
postconf -e \
"mydomain = $your_domain_tld" \
"myhostname = $your_host_tld"
which takes considerably less time, because Postfix likes to
avoid reading "hot" configuration files that have been modified
less than two seconds ago and may be in an intermediate state.
So the configuration reader sleeps for 300ms and retries, waiting
for the file to "cool down". Therefore, modifying paramaters one
at a time takes around 1.5 seconds per parameter.
