elif is a contraction of else if used to extend if statements
if Foo do x
elif Bar then y
elif dah then z
else ....
etc
I *think* the -z is to see if variable is set or not (ie - unset variables = 0)
the SMTP_CDB looks like a qmail variable, but my guess is the line in question
is checking to see if SMTP_CDB variable in a qmail config file has been assigned
a value.
