somebody else already posted some ideas on how to tell whether it is a package or not. useful info: dpkg -l "postfix*" if it's not a package, the best way to upgrade is to backup your postfix config, delete the .tgz install of postfix, and then apt-get install the latest postfix packages. they you never have to worry about it again. if it is a package then just use apt-get to upgrade postfix. craig
