I am running Sendmail 8.11.6 on FreeBSD 4.5. I want to upgrade to 8.12.6. This is going to be on a production machine so I am a bit nervous about it. Here are my questions: 1) If I install it from ports, will it over-write and replace the original installation, or is there something special I should do? 2) Would anyone advise that I build it from source in /usr/src instead of using ports on an upgrade? 3) Is there anything else I may want to bear in mind? Thanks! "There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't."
