You need a new config_directory, and it needs a main.cf and master.cf
file The main.cf file specifies a mail_queue_directory and
data_directory that aren't shared with other Postfix instances.
Both the default main.cf and the new one need to specify
inet_interfaces settings that do not conflict with each other.
Then you need to list the non-default config_directory in
the default main.cf under "alternate_config_directories".
Then it is a matter of
postfix -c config_directory start
postfix -c config_directory stop
sendmail -C config_directory
mailq -C config_directory
newaliases -C config_directory
etc. to talk to the new instance.
A first version of a multi-instance manager will likely become
available in the coming weeks.
