Wietse, thanks this seems a slightly different release, haven't found yet RELEASE_NOTES, all I can find so far are these: /usr/share/doc/postfix# ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright README.Debian changelog.gz NEWS.Debian.gz test I'll study the above, or maybe get RELEASE_NOTES from 2.7.0 source d/l on postfix site, is that releavant ? > 2) Make a backup of the configuration files, so you can go back. > > > 3) Stop Postfix (if the RELEASE_NOTES file says you need to). > > > 4) Leave the configuration files alone, install Postfix, then > execute "postfix upgrade-configuration". > > 5) Start Postfix (or reload, if the difference with the old > Postfix version does not require stopping Postfix). I'm not clear here, this machine was given to me with Postfix 2.7.0 'pre-installed'; so, subject to RELEASE_NOTES, do I copy old#/etc/postfix/* to new#/etc/postfix, then execute "postfix upgrade-configuration" ? or do I copy /etc/postfix/* then (re)install Postfix over that ? -- Voytek
