How exactly does one get to that man page?
man postconf
That of course works.

man postconf(5)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
man postconf5
No manual entry for postconf5

like this..:

man 5 postconf


Does this imply there are version 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well? How do I
find out?

The number specifies the section, not version.

$ man 5 postconf
$ whereis postconf
postconf: /usr/sbin/postconf /usr/share/man/man5/postconf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/postconf.1.gz

So postconf has sections 1 and 5 available.

Actually, I merely typoed. I do not have "reject_unknown_hostname"

smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
reject_invalid_helo_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
permit

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_invalid_hostname,
permit_mynetworks,
check_client_access hash:$config_directory/pbs,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_unlisted_recipient,
reject_unlisted_sender,
reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname,
warn_if_reject reject_unknown_client_hostname,
[Checks go here]

Exactly right, as you can see from above.

That "works" because, absent a section specification, man(1) will only
display the first manual page it finds in MANPATH.

The correct syntax is documented in the man(1) manpage. :-)

To see which manual sections contain a 'postconf' page:

% man -wa postconf
/usr/local/man/man1/postconf.1.gz
/usr/local/man/man5/postconf.5.gz
