-include postfix
+= Postfix Puppet module
 
-postfix::config { "relay_domains": value  => "localhost host.foo.com" }
+This module will help install and configure postfix.
+
+A couple of classes will preconfigure postfix for common needs.
+
+== Example:
+
+  include postfix
+
+  postfix::config { "relay_domains": value  => "localhost host.foo.com" }
