Unlike other products, you are not expected to stop using Postfix
version X when Postfix version X+1 is released.
Postfix 2.5.7 has defect fixes back-ported from Postfix 2.6.0.
Postfix 2.6.0 introduces new features, new incompatibilities, and
opportunties for new defects.
Use Postfix 2.6 if you need the new features, otherwise use Postfix
2.5. The same applies for the earlier releases for which fixes are
still being released: Postfix 2.3 and Postfix 2.4. Of course it
will be harder to answer questions about older versions.
