=> On FreeBSD, the proper way to update some packages is to use
CVSUP - to update the ports tree - and portupgrade.
Read http://www.freebsddiary.org/portupgrade.php carefully .
I suggest you get familiar with FreeBSD ports, CVSUP and 
portupgrade first. Once your installed packages are upgraded you
will be able to install Mimedefang by just doing some
cd /usr/ports/mail/mimedefang
make
make install
(this command will tell you which options you need to add to 
the freebsd.mc file and which init file gets installed).
