Hmmm- I remember we discussed this a long time ago and there was a way - something about putting the files in tmp and correcting the names to be properly based on the inode numbers... If you search the message archive for "tmp" and "inode" you might find the messages.

The inodes. The names of files in the queue are based on their inodes. You cannot copy/rsync the mail queue because the inodes will not, obviously, be preserved. > ie; how can I get my local running courier to recognise the > imported /var/lib/courier/* files from another server ? You can't. For all practical purposes, the copied mail queue is corrupted. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.
