Personally I'm not too fond of upgrading to the latest version immediately. Though this is all right for most environments, I'm always careful with upgrading my mail environment, especially amavisd. Generally I don't run portupgrade often; I run it once there has been some serious exploit found. Perhaps I should run portupgrade more often, but I don't really do it.
