Have you read the FreeBSD handbook? It has realms of good advice covering all aspects of managing FreeBSD machines -- including updating software, network configuration and quite a lot of example command lines for routine operations -- and it is all presented in nice clear English accessible to complete beginners with the OS. It's online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ If you have any questions arising from what you learn from the handbook, then please feel free to ask again here. For best results please tell us as much as you can about the specifics of what you are trying to do: we are neither omniscient nor telepathic, and unless we have some more detailed information we won't be able to provide you any sensible or meaningful answers. At least tell us what antivirus software, what versions of spam assassin, what MTA you're using (including version numbers). Also, a subject line of 'help' really is not helping yourself at all. Many readers of this list will skip over your e-mail unread because of it. Something like 'how do I update my mail server?' would have been a better choice.
