Hello all,
Allow me to answer both Mark and Simon in this mail.
For Mark: The OS is SuSE 7.2 Kernel 2.4.4-4GB

Sure Simon, and there are some I came across, but as earlier
mentioned, all were outlining upgrading procedures for rpm based
installations, not tar.gz installations.

Is your initial installation rpm based or not. If it is not rpm based,
how did you upgrade and what should I look out for when upgrading?
This is a critical machine and I have almost zero room for errors(at
least those that would interrupt the mail functions it is performing).

Great.

Nothing of that sort is mentioned in its documentation.
