Encouraging people to learn how to #selfhost #email is nice idea. Lots to be learnt there.
Pointing them to postfix is what you do if you want them to suffer.
Not sure why more folks don't use #opensmtpd, which has a clear and well documented configuration format. Actually, the whole thing is really well documented and a pleasure to set up.
Perhaps it's simply less well know, but at this point it's not "new" any more.
