Of course it is meant for people, but it is meant to show only the bare minimum of what postfix sees as the settings. It is left up to you, the sys admin, to be able to interpret the data as presented, bearing in mind all caveats (ie, that last setting wins)...
And that caveat was something I was not aware of, as it is an usual method.
That's why reading man pages is usually a good idea... ;)
Yes. And if Postfix were not such a large and complex MTA (not that others aren't), and if the complexities of getting things working between Postfix and Dovecot were not so hard (if Postfix and Dovecot had supported a common file format for listing users and their crypt passwords, this would have taken a lot less of my time), I might have had time to read it all. Unfortunately, working at a startup does not afford such luxury.
Postfix's great advantage is that it supports so many ways to do things.

I should have also just blown off all the people trying to get me to use SQL and such, instead of debating them (which was just a waste of time).
I have and use common data bases in MySQL that are shared between Postfix & Dovecot. Of course, it has to be properly designed.
