The only real change between those versions (that I'm aware of) that
will bite you is smtpd_relay_restrictions, explicitly adding
"smtpd_relay_restrictions=" (explicitly setting it empty) to your
main.cf should resolve this in a fully backwards-compatible manner.  As
Viktor pointed out you can (and probably should) run postfix
upgrade-configuration to fix this and any other issues that may crop up.

I suspect that you're seeing messages about invalid settings.  These
would have been invalid before but postfix didn't start actually showing
warnings about them until 2.9 (before 2.9 invalid settings were silently
ignored), so you will see warnings now, but the actual running behavior
of postfix will not change.

Also if you were running a postfix which was patched to add
functionality before and have settings for that functionality then
obviously those won't be available in an unpatched postfix.

What OS/distro/version are you running?  If you're upgrading now you
should probably be moving to 3.0, not 2.10 which is already two years old.
