As a community member, I would certainly be very interested.

As I originally said, I'm new to postfix so very much wanted to start 
from the ground up building my mail system giving me the opportunity to 
learn each piece of the puzzle rather than just blindly following one of 
the wizz-bang guides on howtoforge etc. Once users have a sound 
understanding of the basics, a more advanced guide would no doubt be a 
great addition, and I'd certainly look forward to using it to help 
progress my own knowledge.
