I don't know what /var/spool/mail is. There is no such directory by default in FreeBSD nor in Postfix for FreeBSD, and never was. Mail should be delivered to /var/mail Mail is queued by postfix in /var/spool/postfix When you upgrade postfix from 1.1.9 to 1.1.11, it does not alter your main.cf file, nor delete any configuration file that is altered by you.
