 Most of the postfix configuration is done in the [attachment:main.cf] file which you find either in {{{/opt/local/etc/postfix}}} (macports) or {{{/etc/postfix}}} (OSX).
 
-=== Step 1: '''set hostname and domain''' ===
+=== Step 1: '''setup main.cf''' ===
 
+==== set hostname and domain ====
+
+Search for {{{my_computer}}} and {{{my_domain}}} in {{{main.cf}}} and replace them with the domain name and computer name of your computer. You can find them out with the {{{hostname}}} command. 
+
+The following lines need attention:
+
+{{{
+myhostname = my_computer.local
+mydomain = my_domain.com
+mydestination = localhost,localhost.my_domain.com,my_computer,my_computer.local,my_computer.my_domain.com
+masquerade_domains = my_domain.com
+}}}
+
+Note: if you don't use an domain name apart from {{{.local}}} then you can remove the duplicate.
+
+==== set relayhost ====
+
+Your outbound mail needs to go to a relayhost as most of us can't send e-mail directly any more. My relayhost is {{{smtp.my_domain.com}}} this does not need to be for you.
+
+The following lines need attention:
+
+{{{
+relayhost = [smtp.my_domain.com]
+}}}
+
+==== /usr <-> /opt/local ====
+
+Depending on which version of postfix (osx vs. macports) you use you have to change all lines containing {{{/usr}}} to {{{/opt/local}}}.
+
+==== /private <-> /opt/local ====
+
+Depending on which version of postfix (osx vs. macports) you use you have to change all lines containing {{{/private}}} to {{{/opt/local}}}.

+=== Step 2: '''setup relay passwords''' ===

+TODO
+
+=== Step 3: '''starting the daemon''' ===
+
+[attachment:Restart_Postfix.command]
+
+=== Step 4: '''testing the deamon''' ===
+
+The attached [attachment:Test_Postfix.command] will send a test e-mail to your self - provided you replaced {{{my_name}}} and {{{my_computer}}} with your own name and computer name.
