QMail will automatically use the new IP address. The only config files you'd need to modify would be things like the 'me' file if you defined the IP in there instead of the hostname. And you'll of course need to change your DNS MX record if it's the public IP that changed. If it's an internal, you'd need to modify your internal DNS MX record to point to the new machine.Hi . I'm trying to create a basic "failover" system not too complex .In other words , I just would like to have my unique domain and user mailboxes replicated on another server . In the event of a crash , the only thing to do for me would be to set on the firewall the "backup" mail server ip ( incoming mail from my ISP which handles domain and mail) and inform users to use squirrelmail pointing to a different server . The backup/restore scripts seems to be what I need . The only question is : Once restored everything through the restore script , which files should I configure on the new server in order to set the correct different IP ?many many thanks !
