Now a days google is so powerful tools for everyone, where anyone can find anything. If I'll tell anyone how to do then he will be able to install and configure but he will not learn, but he will search and find, he will get 100s ways to install a software. This was he will get exposure to 100 different ways to install it. I'll like to tell here that I've made a good detailed document for postfix+mysql+dovecot+nfs and have published on internet. This is what I learned when I was new to postfix. Hence I always tell to google as much as possible before posting here. BTW if this hurts anyone, I'm sorry for that.
