I have been running Postfix under Mac OS X for a number of years (now on OS X 10.7.latest (Lion)). I am working on moving away from the Apple provided and customized Postfix to "real" Postfix built from sources. I've successfully built Postfix but not yet tested. To avoid having it overwritten by Apple updates to Postfix, I'm planning to install in /usr/local/ (e.g. /usr/local/etc/postfix, /usr/local/sbin, and /usr/local/libexec/postfix).

When it comes time to install, do I do "make install" or "make upgrade"? It's not clear to me if "make upgrade" will work when the upgrade is in a different location than the previous version.
