    Hi, wasn't sure if this belonged in a Sendmail board or here. 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!
