     22 <h2> Information for new Postfix users </h2>
     23 
     24 <p> New Postfix users should first look at the following introductory
     25 documents.  These introductions are hyperlinked to more advanced
     26 documents and to UNIX-style manual pages. The UNIX-style manual
     27 pages are intended for people who are already familiar with Postfix.

     49 <h2> Postfix manual page organization </h2>
     50 
     51 <p> Each Postfix manual page is numbered after a section of the
     52 UNIX manual: examples are <a href="mailq.1.html">mailq(1)</a> or <a href="access.5.html">access(5)</a>. Unfortunately,
     53 there is no single universal method to organize manual pages; each
     54 UNIX flavor appears to be different. Postfix documentation assumes
     55 the following convention:  </p>
