Sorry to step in, but I already pointed out one year ago or so that
there is a problem with answers like these. In the results of many
Postfix-related searches, especially those a newbye may make, the
official postfix.org pages often are _far_ from being the first
result: before them you get a screenful or so of links to howtos which
(seem to) "just work", so you never get to the postfix pages, nor feel
any need to get there. I posted specific examples of this here last year.
That's why there are, several times a year, cases like the one above:
for some reason that, sorry, I'm unable to help with, the official
documentation is quite SEU (Search Engine Unoptimized). Don't ask me
why, but that's what happens.
HTH,
Marco
