In my experience email has been working without problems for as long as Unix has been running, long before system administrator exams were invented.
That was back when it was safe to assume that those one or more destination wanted to receive anything that showed up on port 25. Or that you could reasonably accept the unwanted data and subsequently send it back to wherever the From: line said it came from. Which was basically never but people used to do it before they knew better.
But it is still reasonably easy to say what you want to do with email, even if it is hard to implement. My statement was that "the TASK of postfix is fairly easy to understand".
Yes, but you want to add a turbo to the combustion engine and then the simple user interface is not enough anymore...
