If you can spare a moment to pigeon-hole the book, I have a few questions
that perhaps some others would also like to see answered:

- What version(s) of Postfix does the book cover? A lot has changed
between 1.0 (aka 20020228) and 1.1.X

- What is the target audience of the book? Is it for novices, for
experienced administrators, both?

- Does it endeavour to explain (conceptual), document (reference), or
provide case studies/recipes (how-to)?

- Does it cover background material, IP, DNS, SMTP, RFC 821/822,
POP, IMAP, MIME...

- Many of the people asking questions on the list don't understand the
various uses of the word "virtual" or the distinction between
Sendmail-style, Postfix-style and virtual mailbox domains. Are such
disticntions explained in the book?

- Is the content_filter facility explained in detail?
- Multiple Postfix instances?
- SASL?
- TLS?
- Performance tuning?
- List management?
- Cyrus integration?
- Courier IMAP integration?
- Interoperability with Outlook/Exchange?

Bottom line, is this another introductory book, or is a comprehensive in
depth reference? What are your plans for future revisions? Postfix is
still evolving...
