I'm setting up a new machine that is meant to eventually replace the

what the best way to 'migrate' current server settings main.cf and
possibly master.cf from the working 2.4.5 server to the new 2.5.2 server ?
copy the main.cf from the working server, restart and hope for no errors ...?
install same version postfix on new server, copy main.cf, then upgrade
Postfix... ?
Carefully read the INSTALL and RELEASE_NOTES included with
your postfix 2.5 to see if any of the incompatible changes
affect your operation.
Stop postfix on both boxes.
Copy main.cf (and master.cf if you've modified it) to the new
server. Save the originals for reference.
Before starting postfix on the new server, run
# postfix upgrade-configuration
which will make any required changes to main.cf and master.cf.
Then run "postfix start". Get a nice {cold, hot} drink and
watch the logs for anything unexpected.

or, get someone who knows what they're doing ....?
and now that's you.
