The Postfix documentation is not for beginners. It requires that
people have mastered the art of reading arcane UNIX manual pages,
and it requires that people are familiar with basic UNIX concepts
such as <filename.

If you don't want to make that investment in yourself, then hire
a professional, or use a dumbed-down mickey mouse product.
