Hi
I know that If I ask this stupid question all of you will sendme
to man or
here: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
But I wonder if any of you knows about a begining manual for dummy
sysadmins
to let them to work with already postfix installation.
It's not a dumb question. Although everything is documented
perfectly, postfix
is made out of a number of components and configuation files, and
the "big
picture" is non-obvious at first. It's like reading a biology book
then trying
to understand exactly why bean-burritos make you gassy.
My best advice would be google. Whatever questions you have have
almost
certainly been asked before and have already been answered.
There is at least one Postifx Book available, that seems to be
popular,
although I have never actually seen it.

A fantastic resource for beginners (I am still one) and I refer to it
all the time is that excellent "Book of Postfix" by Ralf
Hilderbrandt and Patrick Koelter (I am waiting for Ralf to publish
the new edition he has been promising - hint, hint). Also excellent
but more officious is "Postfix - the difinitive guide" by Kyle Dent.
I think this is the closest you will get to a manual for postfix, I
too could not handle the documentation just to get started.

Never b flat, never b sharp always be natural.
