Basicaly, migration to new server with new version is easy : - Install OLD version to new server (yes OLD so here 1.23) - copy complete old xmailroot to new server - verify that this OLD version on new server is ok (pop, smtp, ...)
Then finally complete 1.23 to 1.26 transition : - stop xmail on new server - read changelog for every needed changes from 1.23 to 1.26 (especialy new cmd line startup options, tab files changes, filters changes, ...) - make sure new directory structure is correct for 1.26 (no missing subfolder, ...) - replace 1.23 binaries with 1.26 binaries - remove new xmail indexes (files in xmailroot\tabindex) to let xmail 1.26 recreate them - optionnaly remove mailroot\dns and mailroot\mx contents (xmail will recreate content) - restart xmail - verify that this NEW version on new server is ok (pop, smtp, ...) -----Message d'origine----- De : xmail-boun...@xmailserver.org [mailto:xmail-boun...@xmailserver.org]de la part de stu...@sdsnet.dyndns.org Envoyé : lundi 24 août 2009 11:49 À : xmail@xmailserver.org Objet : [xmail] migrating users from one xmail installation to another I have a rather ageing system that is running xmail1.23 running Fedora Core 6 and I was intending to move the mailserver to a newer more supportable system running xmail 1.26. What is the easiest way to migrate the mail users and mail from one server to another. I've previously tried copying the tab files and the domains folder into a new installation and not been successful. I can't believe I am the only one to want to do this.
