There are some excellent FAQs and how-to's at http://www.postfix.org. If 
postfix is installed from the ports it is fairly trivial to set up. The 
respective add-on programs (like spam assassin) have very good documentation. 
There seems to be a new OReilly Postfix book, but I haven't read it so I 
can't comment on how useful it is.
