I found http://www.muine.org/~hoang/postfix.html very helpful in explaining an SMTP session and where and how each restriction gets placed. I had to read it several times before I started to understand it. Then once I had a small understanding, I used the example from the URL along with reading the UCE Postfix docs and began to tighten my mailserver. Telnet sessions to port 25 and entering command interactively was most helpful.
