 =============


postfix1 - leave as it is.

postfix - should always point to what Wietse calls the "Official release"
version.  Currently, that is 2.1 Patchlevel 0.

postfix20 - can point to the last official patchlevel release of postfix
2.0.x if enough people need it.

postfix-current - should point to what Wietse calls an "Experimental
release" version.  Currently the 2.2 codebase.
