That’s the O’Reilly one which covers, IIRC, Postfix 2.1 > 2) The Book of Postfix: State-of-the-Art Message Transport Mar 25, 2005 > by Ralf Hildebrandt and Patrick Koetter Oh, I did forget about that one, and assume that is the one Wietse was referring to? > 3) Postfix 2008 by Patrick Ben Koetter Ralf Hildebrandt According to my Amazon page, that one is in German so is not going to be helpful for me. > 4) Postfix May 25, 2001 by Richard Blum > > 5) The Definitive Guide to Postfix Mar 15, 2004 > by Alan Laudicina and Alan P.

But they are all a decade or more old except for “Postfix 2008", and postfix has had fairly major and significant changes in the last decade, I’d say. > You can also get tons of information on the Postfix site itself: > http://www.postfix.org/docs.html Yes, of course. My question was about “that’s what books like ‘the Postfix book’ were written for” specifically, not about documentation in general. The documentation for postfix is quite good, but email is a large complicated mess, and the trouble is finding the right bit of documentation.
