I almost never install tarballs, but prefer to take the time to find or make a deb package if at all possible, because of the manageability added by the packaging system. The stock postfix package included with ubuntu has worked well for me, no surprises, no problems, either with the postfix 2.5.1 package that came with ubuntu 8.04, or the postfix 2.7.0 package that came with ubuntu 10.04. It shouldn't be too much trouble to build a package of say 2.7.0 from 10.04, for installation in a 8.04 system. There are also repositories with ready-to-install, newer versions of postfix, if you need them. BTW it's best to use one of the currently supported LTS server versions which I mentioned above, rather than a release like 9.10. Joe
