Thanks for the links I will check them out.

If your question is more "how can I prepare for future
possible problems?" my advice would be:
- become familiar with postfix in general. The official
documentation should be trusted before any outside sources.
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
- become familiar with reading the postfix logs. Most of the
log entries are self-explanatory; search the postfix-users
list archives or ask here if there's something you don't
understand. Knowing what normal logs look like will help
isolating a problem later.
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#logging
- become familiar with your systems config. In particular,
"postconf" will display all postfix's current settings (the
vast majority of which should be at their default value), and
"postconf -n" will display setting explicitly set in your
main.cf. Find out what the settings you're using are supposed
to do.

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
- become familiar with LDAP. That's really outside the scope
of postfix, but since your system is using it, you should have
some idea of how it's supposed to work.
- If you're a book person, The Book of Postfix by Ralf
Hildebrandt and Patrick Koetter is excellent, although it's
getting a little dated (an unavoidable problem of books
covering evolving software).
