Hi everyone,

I am currently migrating a Red Hat 9 server to Gentoo. Since this is a
live server we are redoing the setup on a new machine and are going to
replace the box running Red Hat 9 with this new box running Gentoo.

Part of the installation is that of Postfix for email.

I noticed that the maildir files have the hostname appended to the end of
it, so a typical file name could be 1108722302.V901I14c3ba.lithium:2,
(where lithium is the hostname) now since the new machine has a different
hostname can the Postfix installation on the new host still read these
files?

Or do they have to be changed?

I just migrated my user's .maildir from one box to another (different hostnames) and courier-imap picked them up on the new box without a problem.
