It attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and +secure, while at the same time, being sendmail compatible enough to not upset +existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is +completely different. + +This script builds postfix with support for Dovecot SASL, Cyrus SASL, and +TLS (using OpenSSL.) Support for Berkeley DB hash and btree maps, being a +Postfix requirement, is also detected and built. + +In addition database plugins are built for LDAP, MySQL, PCRE and sqlite3. To +add support for additional database plugins which are not provided in +Slackware, such as CDB or PostgreSQL, it is necessary to recompile this +package. See the comments in the SlackBuild script to get started. + +Postfix manual sections follow the BSD standard, where section 8 is only for +daemons, and all user commands, even root-user-only administrative commands +such as postfix(1), are in section 1. + +Postfix is exceptionally well documented. If you put a link to your +html_directory (/usr/doc/postfix/html) somewhere you can find it in your +favorite browser, all of this will be readily available to you. The place +to start is not with man pages, but with the various READMEs, all HTMLified +and with convenient hyperlinks to the relevant anchors in the HTML versions +of the manuals. |
