The update did cause one major problem for me and it's taken several days of head scratching and hair-pulling to fix it.
I administer a Mac Mini which runs as a mail server. It's not mine and the person I run it for has only just informed me that it has stopped receiving email. It's a low volume domain anyway and very little important email comes to it.
The Mac Mini runs Postfix with Amavisd, Clamav and Spamassassin.
Following the update it stopped accepting SMTP connections on its external IP address - I could only connect on localhost port 25.
I checked the Postfix main.cf and it had correctly got inet_interfaces = all but postconf -n still only showed inet_interfaces = localhost
After a lot of searching I came across this;
Topic : Firewall enabled/changed after 10.5.6 update? and there was the answer.
The update sneakily put another inet_interfaces = localhost entry at the very bottom of the main.cf file which overrode the previous settings.
Arrgggh! It's taken me several hours of investigating (and a recompile of Postfix from source) to find out that Apple broke it with such a simple change.
