It's fairly well tested as I've build it quite a few times in jails and upgraded several client sites (as well as my own) with the latest version.  The only build error is for some reason, the FreeBSD port p5-Net-DNS doesn't register properly in the package database. That one will work itself out without my help.

Since the last release, I've added a few new FAQ entries:

   •    Is portupgrade -a safe?
   •    Why does SpamAssassin take so long to check messages?
   •    How do I set up per-user SpamAssassin preferences?
   •    What needs to be in /etc/rc.conf?
   •    Should I use RBLs?
   •    How do I get QmailScanner Statistics to work?

You can read them all here:  http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/faq.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/faq.shtml

New Features:

  * Qmail-Scanner Statistics support
  * More toaster-watcher.conf options
  * fewer interview questions (means pay attention to the .conf file(s) BEFORE building Smile
  * SMTP submission support
  * added preference for preferring port installs (instead of package)
  * Increased Anti-Spam tool suite (DCC, Pyzor, bogofilter, Mail::Audit)
  * Fixed a few things that caused newbies problems.
  * SpamAssassin per-user prefs are documented (see the FAQ)

I still need to code another extension to toaster-watcher.pl to clean up old (spam) messages and feed confirmed spam/ham messages through spamassassin (and maybe bogofilter) as part of the "plan for spam" but there seemed to be very little interest for it.
