I agree with your advice to build the new server with a clean install,

But I'm not so sure I understand your assessment that 5.x is "worse
performing than both 4.x and 6.x." While I agree that 6.x is a great
improvement in functionality over 5.x, I was not aware of the poor
performance record of 5.x.
Do you know of any links to benchmark tests, or other data, which
would provide some more background on this?

That kind of data would greatly influence my opinion in this
discussion. Without it I'd be pleased to recommend 5.X, regardless of
it's pending "drop dead" date, wrt support. I certainly see no need
to chain myself to any software release cycle, nor, it seems, does the
original poster. I'm in awe of his patience, and clearly he is
satisfied with the product if he remains on 4.11.

Thanks,

~Still running 5.x

I'm on 4.11 because I'm lazy and chicken. The server is co-located so
it isn't real convenient to do major upgrades. It might actually be
easier and more cost effective (in terms of my time) to get a
replacement box, set up 6.0 on it, and migrate.

Btw, I'm sorry for posting this question twice. I posted the first one
with the wrong email address. I was surprised (and disappointed) to see
that the list accepted it as I did not subscribe to the list with that
address. :(

As I was told, the list was open so they don't restrict email
addresses. They just have a fabulous spam catching system which only
admits spam on rare occasions it seems {gotta get a hold of their
spamassassin file :D).
Unfortunately, this is where having an uninstall and install
script would be more than handy on FreeBSD.. if someone could conjure up
a script like that, that would be safe to use-even remotely-then maybe
this wouldn't be so much of an issue.
