+  Postfix Integration
+  -------------------
+
+  1. Make sure that Postfix was built with PCRE map support
+     (see README.PCRE in the original Postfix source distribution).
+     It basically means building and installing PCRE from
+     ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/ and
+     configuring Postfix with at least:
+
+     | make makefiles \
+     |     CCARGS="-I/path/to/pcre/include -DHAS_PCRE"
+     |     AUXLIBS="-L/path/to/pcre/lib -lpcre"
+
+  2. In the Postfix main configuration file (main.cf) you have
+     enable the virtual user and transport mapping tables:
+
+     main.cf:
+
+     | virtual_maps   = pcre:/path/to/virtual
+     | transport_maps = hash:/path/to/transport
+
+  3. Add the following entry to the Postfix virtual user mapping table:
+
+     /path/to/virtual:
+
+     | /^posting\+(.*)@gateway\.example\.com$/ $1@lmtp2nntp.invalid
+
+  4. Add the following entry to the Postfix transport mapping table:
+
+     /path/to/transport:
+
+     | lmtp2nntp.invalid  lmtp:unix:/path/to/lmtp2nntp.news.example.com
+
+     Additionally convert the transport mapping table into the hash
+     table format Postfix reads (not required for the virtual user
+     mapping table above, because it is PCRE based).
+
+     $ postmap /path/to/transport
+
+  5. Start lmtp2nntp as a stand-alone daemon for delivering to
+     news.example.com. This is required because in contrast to Sendmail,
+     Postfix can speak LMTP only via Unix Domain and Internet Domain
+     sockets (but not via a Unix pipe). Use the following script:
+
+     lmtp2nntpd:
+
+     | #!/bin/sh
+     | LMTP2NNTP_PATH='/usr/local/bin/lmtp2nntp'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_ARGS=''
+     | LMTP2NNTP_CLIENTBIND='/path/to/lmtp2nntp.news.example.com'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_GROUPMODE='envelope'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_LOGLEVEL='notice:/var/log/lmtp2nntp'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_MAILFROM='^.+@(?:[^.]+\.)+[^.]+$'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_NODENAME=`hostname`
+     | LMTP2NNTP_OPERATIONMODE='post'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_SIZE='800000'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_TIMEOUT='nntp:connect=60'
+     | LMTP2NNTP_NEWSGROUP='*'
+     | case $1 in
+     |     start )
+     |         $LMTP2NNTP_PATH -D -P "/path/to/lmtp2nntp.pid" \
+     |             -c "$LMTP2NNTP_CLIENTBIND" \

+     |             "$LMTP2NNTP_NEWSGROUP"

+     |     stop )
+     |         $LMTP2NNTP_PATH -K -P "/path/to/lmtp2nntp.pid"
+     |         ;;
+     | esac
+
+  5. start lmtp2nntp daemon and reload Postfix to activate the new setup:
+
+     $ lmtp2nntpd start
+     $ postfix reload
