sorry to have to burst your bubble, but postfix does not have documentation
at least not in the way we call documentation these days
maybe you'd call them "notes" or a "reference guide" but not real documentation
it is helpful to people who already know everything, but not helpful to people
who are learning
I would disagree.
Postfix has documentation, however it is not a tutorial which is what i think
you are describing.
Documentation isn't meant to be a how-to or tutorial.
The word 'documentation' covers a lot of ground. Documentation in the
context in which we use it here should not be a *tutorial*; it should,
however, be able to serve as a *guide*, not merely a simple reference.
That said, there are limits in how deep of a guide it can possible be to
a complex tool such as Postfix. Perl's documentation, for example, is
extraordinarily deep and complete; but there are reasons why the camel
and llama books exist as well.
