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).
http://www.postfix-book.com or your favorite bookstore.
