+Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to the
+widely-used Sendmail program. 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.
