+This document has hints and tips for those who manage their own Postfix binary
+distribution for internal use, and for those who maintain Postfix binary
+distributions for general use.

+
+The installed main.cf file must be small. PLEASE resist the temptation to list
+all parameters in the main.cf file. Postfix is supposed to be easy to
+configure. Listing all parameters in main.cf defeats the purpose. It is an
+invitation for hobbyists to make random changes without understanding what they
+do, and gets them into endless trouble.

+
+Please provide the applicable README or HTML files. They are referenced by the
+Postfix manual pages and by other files. Without README or HTML files, Postfix
+will be difficult if not impossible to configure.

+
+Postfix installation is controlled by a dozen installation parameters. See the
+postfix-install and post-install files for details. Most parameters have
+system-dependent default settings that are configurable at compile time, as
+described in the INSTALL file.

+
+You can build a Postfix package on a machine that does not have Postfix
+installed on it. All you need is Postfix source code and a compilation
+environment that is compatible with the target system.
+
+You can build a pre-built Postfix package as an unprivileged user.
+
+First compile Postfix. After successful compilation, execute:
+
+     % mmaakkee ppaacckkaaggee
+
+With Postfix versions before 2.2 you must invoke the post-install script
+directly (% sshh ppoosstt--iinnssttaallll).
+
+You will be prompted for installation parameters. Specify an install_root
+directory other than /. The mail_owner and setgid_group installation parameter
+settings will be recorded in the main.cf file, but they won't take effect until
+the package is unpacked and installed on the destination machine.
+
+If you want to fully automate this process, specify all the non-default
+installation parameters on the command line:
+
+     % mmaakkee nnoonn--iinntteerraaccttiivvee--ppaacckkaaggee iinnssttaallll__rroooott==//ssoommee//wwhheerree...
+
+With Postfix versions before 2.2 you must invoke the post-install script
+directly (% sshh ppoosstt--iinnssttaallll --nnoonn--iinntteerraaccttiivvee iinnssttaallll__rroooott......).
+
+With Postfix 3.0 and later, the command "make package name=value ..." will
+replace the string MAIL_VERSION in a configuration parameter value with the
+Postfix release version. Do not try to specify something like $mail_version on
+this command line. This produces inconsistent results with different versions
+of the make(1) command.

+
+Thus, to tar up the pre-built package, take the following steps:
+
+    % cd INSTALL_ROOT
+    % rm -f SOMEWHERE/outputfile
+    % find . \! -type d -print | xargs tar rf SOMEWHERE/outputfile
+    % gzip SOMEWHERE/outputfile
+
+This way you will not include any directories that might cause trouble upon
+extraction.
+

+
+  * To unpack a pre-built Postfix package, execute the equivalent of:
+
+    # umask 022
+    # gzip -d <outputfile.tar.gz | (cd / ; tar xvpf -)
+
+    The umask command is necessary for getting the correct permissions on non-
+    Postfix directories that need to be created in the process.
+
+  * Create the necessary mail_owner account and setgid_group group for
+    exclusive use by Postfix.
+
+  * Execute the postfix command to set ownership and permission of Postfix
+    files and directories, and to update Postfix configuration files. If
+    necessary, specify any non-default settings for mail_owner or setgid_group
+    on the postfix command line:
+
+    # postfix set-permissions upgrade-configuration \
+           setgid_group=xxx mail_owner=yyy
+
+    With Postfix versions before 2.1 you achieve the same result by invoking
+    the post-install script directly.
