Read "Postfix: The Definitive Guide" or "The Book of Postfix". Years ago
I read the first and used it to setup multiple domains with virtual
accounts. Works perfectly to this day. Also heard good things about the
2nd book. Both should give you ample knowledge how to setup Postfix.

Imho the Postfix documentation is excellent. Admittedly it does not do
any handholding but once you are familiar with it, it's very helpful to
have such an elaborate overview of all possible options.
I would suggest to start with a basic Postfix setup without all the
bells and whistles, get that going and then slowly add things like
anti-spam rules, amavis etc. Using git for your configs helps reverting
if something blows up.
