I quoted directly from the postfix web page, when I said that the snapshot versions are: Work-in-progress code, subject to change, needs testing before it can become an official release. I've been involved with postfix since long before it became known by this name, and all during that process, the recommended version that people are encouraged to run is the latest "official release" version. Myself, I run the next-to-latest snapshot version on our production systems, but you'd better be prepared to deal with any problems that may occur if you want to do the same. Otherwise, you shouldn't be running a snapshot version. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
