Early Postfix versions shipped with lots of documented example
files in $config_directory. These files described lookup tables
and main.cf settings.
Over time, the examples with main.cf parameter settings were replaced
by the postconf(5) manpage. According to "grep :p1 postfix-files",
the example map files are:
$config_directory/access:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/aliases:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/canonical:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/generic:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/header_checks:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/relocated:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/transport:f:root:-:644:p1
$config_directory/virtual:f:root:-:644:p1
I would recommend keeping the aliases sample file, because
aliases is a required file.
