Hello list,
I have been following the list for a while now and I'm ready to take
the plunge.
I have an existing mail server running pop3, smtp, and imap. I have
around 40
domains to transfer. The most users per domain would be around 70. I can
get a dump of accounts and groups and build an sql import script
without trouble,
but I could use so help migrating the mailbox's to dbmail. The mail
box format is
not one you are probably familiar with (EIMS) so I would appreciate
any tips, like
using some command line mail client to "clone" the mailbox's to the
dbmail by
looping through a list of users subscribing to all mailbox's, and
then storing them
all locally in some format that could be imported into dbmail, or
passed to postfix
for delivery. I haven't done this before so I'm sure there are better
approaches.
Once this is done I want to migrate away from squirrelmail to
something along the
lines of what Erik is doing with SwiftMail. This functionality is why
I found dbmail
in the first place. I would also build the webmail interface with php
but would like
to do so in such a way that creating other front-ends would be
trivial. I'm open to
working with someone on this if there are already some projects going
that have
a roadmap compatible with my needs. This is off topic I'm sure but
this community
seems small and I don't know where else to probe.
Also, could I drop the table that holds the user pass info and make
that a view?
I haven't seen or heard any reason this wouldn't work but I haven't
been on the
list all that long nor looked into dbmail in that kind of detail.
Thanks,
-Bradley Giesbrecht
