Hi there.

I am using 4.29-7 on FreeBSd - is it worth upgrading to latest stable
yet? I realise there are new features, but do the newer version have a
hugely better chance of stopping more spam and viruses?

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade guide for FreeBSD anywhere? Can
i just do a portupgrade ?

Thanks
Pete
