That being the case, I think I'd simply just build the new toaster and
create the domains manually using the vadddomain command. For the users, you
might want to create a file containing all the accounts and passwords, then
write/run a script script to add them. I'm not sure that'd be much if any
faster than using qmailadmin to create them though.
What are any problems you foresee or questions you have?
