Cool. You may be able to avoid loss in history by switching off incoming mail on both servers a few minutes before the final migration copy. Sending mailservers will try again as long as you either don't answer or send a 451 response code or similar. I hope that the servers don't celebrate the 5th November like us... you know what happens over this side of la Manche that night? ;-) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:5th_November.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night In recent years, I've had two strange experiences... flying out of Auckland and landing in London on the 5th amid explosions... but anyway, I won't send mail as I'll be out watching stuff burn. :-D Regards, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.
