I believe that these are everything in /etc/mail. > Also copied the users mailboxes. The users' inboxes are usually in /var/spool/mail, but other mailboxes could be in the users' $HOME directories, so you might need to copy everyone's $HOME directory to the new machine. Also someone might be crazy enough to use /tmp or /var/tmp to store some of their mail (such as when they run out of space in $HOME). I think upgrading/switching mail servers is just too messy that I'd rather not do it. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
