I'm 100% completely new to Postfix, somewhat new to *nix.
My general feedback:
1. I find Postfix to be somewhat difficult, and the "google search" documentation for my specific setup is fragmented and incomplete at best. I did expect this given the number of possible system permutations.
2. I'm convinced that the postfix.org information is complete and accurate, but
it is nearly indecipherable for the truly new user.
3. I realized that the best solution was to sign up for this mailing list and
politely ask for some help, while at the same time educating myself as much as
possible via books/internet resources.
It's probably not realistic to expect a mailing list, geared to
answering specific questions, to provide remedial lessons or exhaustive
step by step instructions. When you get to the point where you have some
specific questions, the folks here are more than willing to provide answers.
So, the best advice I can give you for now is to obtain and read "The
Book of Postfix" by Ralph Hildebrandt et al, published by no starch
press and available at amazon.com and other outlets.
