Hello People,

I have a machine with Courier compiled and installed from
the sources.  Now I would like to install Courier from
Debian packages there, because we want to have the binary
packages on all our machines with Debian.

The main problem is a location of a mail queue. The old
queue is placed in /var/spool/mailqueue, but the new queue
- in /var/lib/courier.  Fortunately the both locations
are on the same LVM volume. 

Has someone any experience with moving mail queue in the
situation like that? Is it possible? Is it safe?

I know that Courier uses an inode number in the name of
control files, but an inode number of a file shouldn't be
changed when I move the file using mv command.  Am I right?

I've done the following test on my devel machine:

1. Stop Courier
2. Move a mail queue from /var/spool/mailqueue to /var/lib/courier
3. Move a mail queue back
4. Start Courier

and it seems that my Courier still works fine. Is it only
a happy coincidence? ;)

I would be very thankful for your any comments.

My best regards,

Pawel Tecza
