I have a successful qmail toaster running on a host with it's own

But I want to move the mail server to a different machine with a
different hostname and diff IP addy. qmail toaster is successfully
installed on the new machine but has no vpopmail database. Both
machines are in the same domain (mine) and are only a single IP octet
different (going from .3 to .8)
I've been looking over Jake's backup/restore script, and I'm certainly
going to put it to good use (and adding the /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp*
files -- do I need to copy over the *.cdb file, too?).
But are there any things I should be aware of before making this leap?
I was looking through the /var/qmail/control files and saw some
references to the old hostname and IP. Anything there that's gonna
clobber me?
The backup and restore script will move over exactly what is on the
server now. The tcp.smtp file is not needed, unless you have put
anything special in there. It doesn't matter if you move the
tcp.smtp.cdb file over or not; on the new machine type "qmailctl cdb"
and it will rebuild it using the rules in tcp.smtp anyway.
And yes, you will want to change the hostname in the files; it may give
unexpected results otherwise.
