The first line assumes a before-queue proxy filter (amavisd-new)
configured to do DKIM etc. on port 10026.  Your main.cf or regular
smtpd service would use a proxy filter on a different port.

The milter_macro_name parameter is used by some milters -- such as
opendkim -- to trigger DKIM signing.  It's not used by amavisd-new,
but won't cause any problem to be there.

A brief discussion of before-queue filtering vs. after-queue
filtering can be found here:

This example uses an after-queue content filter.
Note: smtpd_content_filter is not a built-in postfix parameter, so
either this is a macro that must also be defined in main.cf or a typo.

This example omits the milter_macro_name, presumably because the
site does not use a milter, and has no plans to use a milter in the
future.
