Hello all,
I am using Bruce Guetner's Qmail SRPMs with Courier-IMAP. I am planning to
transfer mail services to another machine. Can I just copy the users'
Maildir (with its contents) to the new machine? What I plan to do is this:
1. configure new machine as mail2
2. add user accounts to mail2
3. stop mail1 from receiving mails from users by unsetting RELAYCLIENT
4. wait till mail1 sends all mails currently in queue
5. stop qmail-smtpd on mail1
6. backup users' Maildir
7. transfer backup to mail2
8. disconnect mail1
9. rename mail2 to mail1
10. restart mail services on new mail1
Is this the correct way to transfer mails?
TIA,
M. Yu
