Odd. I've been using Postfix since IBM announced their "Secure
Mailer." I don't recall when that was. My pflogsumm web page shows a
creation date of Jan. '99. I know I was using Postfix for a while
before that. I don't recall main.cf being particularly problematical.
The longest discussion I recall getting into here, in the past,
involved anti-UCE configuration. A bunch of us hashed-out the "best"
(vanilla) way to do it.

I think your memory fails you. I've been on some of those mailing
lists myself ;).
