The simplest way seems to be use of CVSUP. OK, but... Is it safe ? What should I backup ? There is running well-configured sendmail - are there some changes in its configuration between versions 8.11.3 used in FreeBSD 4.3 and 8.12.8p1 used in FreeBSD 4.8. This is my only mailserver and I don't have an secondary if something fails... Please, advice if you have some know-how :-))) Peter Rosa
