Yes, exactly.
You can also manually go through the settings mentioned in the
Overview section of COMPATIBILITY_README, to see if anything needs
changing in main.cf/master.cf. That's what I did.
Not so clear is when do you turn off backwards compatibility (i.e. set
the level). Does postfix determine the level right away or should I let
it run for a few weeks so it sees a lot of mail?
The documentation is not clear on this, but I don't think there's any
kind of logic behind the compatibility level postfix mentions in its
log - it's just the hard-coded version specifier, the most recent
compatibility level.
You can turn off the safety net once you made sure that postfix is
configured the way you want; that is, once you made sure that no more
backwards-compatible default settings would need to be made permanent.
For example, relay_domains used to default to $mydestination. With
postfix 3.0.0, it defaults to:
relay_domains = ${{$compatibility_level} {2} ? {$mydestination} : {}}
If you rely on the default setting of relay_domains (i.e. you don't set
it explicitly in main.cf) you may need to change it now.
Thanks.
It now looks as though my test machine does work; I forgot to restart
postfix. So today when I booted it up it does seem to process mail.
Thanks again,

[gentoo-user] anyone using postfix 3.0.0
A new stable mail-mta/postfix hit the tree recently 3.0.0. Is anyone running it? I built it on a test machine but it doesn't seem to work. However, I don't use that machine much (and never for mail) so it is very possibly mis-configured for mail. Before I build the new postscript for my real machine I would like to hear that those postscript users on this list are not having problems. thanks, allan

Before I build the new postscript for my real machine I would like to hear that those postscript users on this list are not having problems. I updated to postfix 3.0 three hours ago on my production server - no problems whatsoever. No changes to main.cf or any other configuration file are needed (you may want to add `compatibility_level = x' as per: http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html, though).
