>Is there anyway you can install 7.1x on a test box Mark unfortunately I can't. I could go straight 8.03 and move the registry branch etc... but I thought it would be better to bring the new server up to where I am now loading it exactly as I did the old one and then go to 8.03....Thanks for your input and I would like to hear from others on this as well....

The only problems we encountered were with the anti-spam options for the blacklists. We had configured them wrong to start with and I was wondering why they did not work. Other than that I recall it went smoothly. Is there anyway you can install 7.1x on a test box and upgrade it to 8.03 for kicks and giggles to be sure you don't run into anything "odd" on saturday. If all goes well you should be out of there in 30 min. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Upgrading to 8.03 Saturday How smooth is the 7.x to 8.x upgrade? Has anyone done that or has everyone installed a fresh copy of 8.x?
