I keep seeing and having questions on valid parameters and valid values for them. The Postfix.org site and manual have great listings and this list has provided excellent info on them.

Still I stay a bit confused as I started with an older version (could have been in the 1.x series) and got much of my main.cf from "non-authoritative" sources. :-) And as I upgraded I never changed main.cf much unless I found a problem.

So here I am now wanting to "optimize" the installations I support but feel I can't do it right. Why? Because I don't know how a message flows through the settings in Postfix.

To try and bring this to the subject line; is there a "flow chart" or a way to create one of how a message would/should/could be processed?

Plus I have questions like: "Does the order of the parameters in main.cf make a difference? Can I specify *_client_* after *_recipient_*, which parameter values are standalone parameters now, etc.

That make any sense ... at all?  Hopefully.
