Any chance you could be a little more verbose? > When I did a cvsup for FBSD 3.4 to 4.0 it broke my whole box. You obviously failed to research. It's quite common for an upgrade path between major versions of any software to be tricky or broken. In this case, it's not broken, but it's not particularly easy. A simple mailing list search and a read of /usr/src/UPDATING would have told you what is required to upgrade. > Its a highly important mail server and its completly and utterly broken. The more fool you for tampering with a production system. You shouldnt be installing x.0 software onto it anyway. Until a piece of software reaches x.1, it is still considered to be teething. > I wiped it already in attempt of an reinstall. > I never ever had problems like this with FBSD 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.
