I'm trying to migrate all of the domains, user accounts, and mail from
an old Sun Ultra2 running Solaris 9 with vpopmail 5.4.10 and mysql
Ver. 14.7 distribution 4.1.21 to a newer server running CentOS 5 with
Qmail Toaster.
There are a couple of issues I'm running into - the current server is
setup with vpopmail install on its own set of disk arrays (/u1), and
then as that drive ran out of room, /u2 and /u3 were added, domains
were moved to those partitions and symlinks created to point to /u1
The other problem is that vpopmail is compiled with "many domains",
"big user dirs", and "learn passwords". The version of vpopmail on the
new server (5.4.17) is compiled without those features, which can
easily be resolved by recompiling, which I've done but I really want
to standardize things so that I don't have to recompile every time I
want to update.
This sounds like a rather manual process, unless someone else has done
something similar and can offer insight/scripts. From what I'm thinking
(shooting from the hip):
You may try a dump of the database (or vuserinfo scripted) to get the
usernames (emails) and passwords. This in a text file can be scripted to
run in a loop to create the users on the new server.
As far as the emails - rsync them over to the new server. Assuming you
were using courier, the dir structure should remain the same.
