Committing lots of documentation updates, including linking up to the new

mailman-installation guide, and filling out the other formats that seemed to be missing.

+6.1 Using the Postfix mail server</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>
+Mailman should work pretty much out of the box with a standard Postfix
+installation.  It has been tested with various Postfix versions up to and
+including Postfix 2.1.5.
+
+<P>
+By default, Postfix treats <code>-owner</code> and <code>-request</code> addresses
+specially.  Since you want Postfix to deliver such messages to Mailman, you
+should turn off this option by adding this to your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+    owner_request_special = no
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+In order to support Mailman's optional VERP delivery, you will want to disable
+<code>luser_relay</code> (the default) and you will want to set
+<code>recipient_delimiter</code> for extended address semantics.  You should comment
+out any <code>luser_relay</code> value in your <span class="file">main.cf</span> and just go with the
+defaults.  Also, add this to your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+    recipient_delimiter = +
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+Using "<tt class="samp">+</tt>" as the delimiter works well with the default values for
+<var>VERP_FORMAT</var> and <var>VERP_REGEXP</var> in <span class="file">Defaults.py</span>.
+
+<P>
+When attempting to deliver a message to a non-existent local address, Postfix
+may return a 450 error code.  Since this is a transient error code, Mailman
+will continue to attempt to deliver the message for
+<var>DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD</var> - 5 days by default.  You might want to set
+Postfix up so that it returns permanent error codes for non-existent local
+users by adding the following to your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+    unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+Finally, if you are using Postfix-style virtual domains, read the section on
+virtual domain support below.
