Sounds like postfix thinks it's a parameter, not a value.

Postfix is easier to configure than sendmail, but there's still really
no alternative to understanding what you're doing.

I think you've got general syntax problems.  A line only continues the
previous line if it begins with whitespace.  So you should indent a
lot of those lines (pretty much all of the ones that don't have an '='
at the end).  For readability, I would also separate the different
parameter settings with (at least) a blank line.
