A general advice: be a pessimist and expect things go wrong after the upgrade. (Sorry David... ;-) Therefore back the old version up to be able to restrore it quickly just in case. The files to be backed up are: /etc/init.d/mimedefang /etc/mail/spamassassin /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang /usr/local/bin/watch-mimedefang /usr/local/bin/md-mx-ctrl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang-multiplexor Secondly, since you might have customized /etc/init.d/mimedefang and /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter, do not compare these files with the ones in the new distribution but compare the ones in the new distribution with their old versions in the _original_ old distribution. Then update your customized old versions *by hand* towards including the new features. That's the way I do it since my (and probably everyone else's) mimedefang-filter is not so easily comparable with the templates furnished in the MD tarball.
