I've read some docs, and watched related threads on the lists, and have decided to go with postfix. Each time I decide to tear into the project of setting it up, I realize that I don't have the basic understanding of UNIX mail to complete the job. When I start reading postfix docs, I quickly feel like I'm sinking in quicksand--the concepts make sense to me, but the language and examples are not clear enough for me to grasp. My questions is this: Where should I start, as far as reading goes? I've read (and partially undestood) the sendmail chapter from UNIX System Adminstration the sendmail chapter from the handbook (some) of the Postfix docs I'm not stupid, I just need a nudge i the right direction. Thanks for any advice!
