#delay_warning_time = 4h
mydomain = obvious
myhostname = obvious
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

#mailbox_command = procmail -a “$EXTENSION”
mailbox_size_limit = [...]

To upgrade all currently installed ports installed using darwinports on OS X the command you need to use is

port -d selfupdate

If you want nicer looking fonts on ubuntu and have most of the repositories installed may I suggest that you run
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts which will install the Microsoft Core fonts and make many things (like webpages) better than the defalt fonts installed.
