21 <h2> Information for new Postfix users
</h2>
23 <p> New Postfix users should first look at the following introductory
24 documents. These introductions are hyperlinked to more advanced
25 documents and to UNIX-style manual pages. The UNIX-style manual
26 pages are intended for people who are already familiar with Postfix.
31 <li> <a href=
"OVERVIEW.html"> Postfix architecture overview
</a>
33 <li> <a href=
"BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html"> Basic configuration
36 <li> <a href=
"DEBUG_README.html"> Trouble shooting
</a>
38 <li> <a href=

41 <li> <a href=

44 <li> <a href=

</a>
48 <h2> Postfix manual page organization
</h2>
50 <p> Each Postfix manual page is numbered after a section of the
51 UNIX manual: examples are
<a href=
"mailq.1.html">mailq(
1)
</a> or
<a href=
"access.5.html">access(
5)
</a>. Unfortunately,
52 there is no single universal method to organize manual pages; each
53 UNIX flavor appears to be different. Postfix documentation assumes
54 the following convention:
