Please note the book is now rather dated. While the examples and general concepts are still valuable, lots of things have changed since then. The official up-to-date documentation is supplied with the source code, and also available on the postfix web page http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html At a minimum, you should review the various RELEASE_NOTES to see what has changed since the book was published. > (Note that I have > virtual servers but have not yet configured postfix for handling > them.)
