Just one small point, Postfix 1.x doesn't implement the hold queue
feature. This only came in with postfix 2.x so I would suggest you make
2 pages, one for Postfix 1.x using dual instances and the other for
Postfix 2.x using single instance. How about a faq entry (With link from
the install pages?) which gives more complex regexp to allow better
'filtering' e.g. /^Received:(.*)by machine\.domain\.tld \(Postfix\)/
HOLD which will only catch mail received by SMTP and therefore allow
direct injected mail through without scanning (My regexp is not good so
some one may be able to give even better, neater examples based on
standard Postfix headers, or any other ;-) ).
