I noticed today when editing a config file for Postfix in Vim that one value was listed in white text only and everything else was in color. This lead me to beleive the value or parameter was wrong or not being recognized by Postfix configuration but it is. I asked Postfix and the said:

"Your VIM syntax highlighter is out of date"

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to update this manually if I have the latest version of Vim in my Arch repo?

I assume you are talking about data_directory? The pfmain.vim file that arch has is the latest that is shipped from upstream vim as far as I can see. There is a couple of newer versions floating around on the net tho, here is one of them: http://fuji.web.cern.ch/fuji/vim/syntax/pfmain.vim But even that one doesn't have "data_directory" defined as a keyword. It's rather trivial to add it tho. But as said by a smart person: "You should not depend on vim to tell you what keyword is valid in your main.cf"
