Hi Jim,
I did something similar with fedora core 6 last week. The way I did it
was take the last postfix security update (source rpm) from fedora core
6 extracted it and used it's spec file to build a new rpm with the
latest postfix stable release. I left our config files intact on the
development server and I've still not pushed it up to our live servers.
The short answer is, so far I've had absolutely no problems going to the
latest stable release on our old config, haven't even modified it
period. The most difficult part was tweaking out the old source rpm's
spec file so I could build an upgradable package for our production
systems. Hope this info is of use to you.

I maintain an old Fedora Core 5 system that I'm going to be
updating to Fedora 9 -- I'll be rebuilding from scratch and
copying over the config. The FC5 system has Postfix 2.2.8,
and the new system will have 2.5.1.
Can anyone tell me if there are any major config file
differences or incompatibilities between those two versions?
Thanks for the reply. I've found a couple of changes in SASL
config, but it's nice to know there probably won't be any
major glitches.
