I’ve updated all my machines that run Snow Leopard with the update and I haven’t noticed any strange behavior or errors.
If you want to read more on what is affected in the updates I would suggest reading the Apple support site for the (security) update.
There are some reports on changes in the firewall which might affect the workings of your server if you are using the default firewall configuration. I use noobproof to configure my firewalls. It has a better level of control.
Update: the postfix binary is replaced and you need to run a “sudo make install” from the last version you used. This is a reminder on why you keep the compiled stuff lying around on the server and not clean it up after installation.

I had to reinstall my php after this update.
Other than that, it was fine.

@Drew, are you using the default Apache installation or the DIYMacServer setup. I ask because I didn’t see this happen.

There was one issue I noticed after the upgrade.
The OSX update includes an update for Postfix. As I had followed the instructions on this site closely and installed the version of Postfix I had built into the default directories, the OSX update overwrote my build with an older one.
This was easily solved by simply stopping the running postfix and then going into my old build directory and using the command:
sudo make install
This then re-installed my build, which I then restarted and everything was fine.
I believe this has been mentioned in the comments for previous OSX updates.

@Neil: Ouch, you are so correct and I’m sooooo wrong! I did completely miss that one…
I will edit the post to show this.
Thanks for posting this!!!!

@Richard, I am not using the DIYMacServer install of Apache. I guess if i was I wouldn’t have seen the php problem.
