Wondering if anyone has made this leap recently, and what changes/gotchas
might be pertinent?

clone your configuration in a virtual machine and try it

SIX major releases is a lot, even having the fact
that Wietse is very careful with changes in mind

the problem is that even he can not say what exactly
has changed since long not supported releases and
how will this possibly play with your exactyl config

Sure he can, the changes are documented in the RELEASE_NOTES files,
which are includes with the Postfix source code. The OP should read
RELEASE_NOTES-2.{4,5,6,7,8} and the RELEASE_NOTES for 2.9.

sure, theoretically possible, but depending on the combination
of used options and how they are used maybe a little difficult
to find out which change my apply to it or which side-effects
are possible or not

thats why i would clone this thing to a virtual machine, upgrade
and make some little tests

Which I have. At this point we have a cluster of outbound servers, so I
plan to build a new server from scratch and bring it into the cluster after
some testing, then phase out the other servers with clones of the new
machine.

The closest jump we are trying to now is from 2.4 to 2.8, but still in installation phase. :)

As vikor dukhovni mentioned in other thread, here is one thing you can keep in mind.

The postfix-script, postfix-files and related
files are as of Postfix 2.6 expected to be in /usr/libexec/postfix
(really $daemon_directory).

Thanks,
Kumar
