Postfix's documentation consists of about 129 documents. I'd call it a heroic effort of documentation. They do a fairly good job of explaining in precise detail what you need to know. It can be easy to miss some important detail in some cases, but once you realise that and go back to the documentation, what you needed to know is usually there. Once you realise that, you know to read them more carefully. cheers, raf
