1) Study the RELEASE_NOTES file and look for any incompatible changes that may affect your configuration. 2) Make a backup of the configuration files, so you can go back. 3) Stop Postfix (if the RELEASE_NOTES file says you need to). 4) Leave the configuration files alone, install Postfix, then execute "postfix upgrade-configuration". 5) Start Postfix (or reload, if the difference with the old Postfix version does not require stopping Postfix).
