how do I set DateStyle = European in postmaster ?

How do I set datestyle to European in server end ?

I tried running postmaster with "-oe" as instructed in one email, but it
resulted as error it did not accept -oe.
for moment I all connections set datestyle = European, but it's not
enough.

please, help!!!!1
