The CentOS document http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix explicitly says that its instructions may not work in CentOS-6. Does anyone know of reasonably simple postfix documentation for CentOS-6?
The above probably should work, just that it wasn't written specifically for 6 and hasn't been tested on 6, but the changes in Postfix between 5 and 6 shouldn't prevent it from working given it describes the bare minimum required to get Postfix up on your system.
Ok, thanks for the response. I'll try following the instructions in that document, as I have had no luck with the documents on www.postfix.org .
The changeover from sendmail to postfix in CentOS-6 was probably a mistake, in my view, unless required to follow RedHat. At the very least proper documentation should be a pre-requisite for a change like this.

An important document is the architectural overview ( http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html) which is somewhat unceremoniously indexed under "Other Topics" on the documentation page. That really helps tie a lot of things together.
