So I'm getting ready to do this conversion, read through

a few times... but I noticed something... it says to stop qmail and courier:
First we need to stop Courier IMAP:
# cd /var/qmail/supervise
# touch imap4/down imap4/log/down
# touch imap4-ssl/down imap4-ssl/log/down
# service qmail stop
do all the changes, then start everything back up:
# service qmail start
# chkconfig dovecot on
# service dovecot start
won't "service qmail start" also restart courier? Where am I telling it NOT to run
courier? just by creating those "down" files? Thats what I'm thinking, but just wanted
to make sure before doing the conversion, and didnt want courier to pop in there and play with the
maildirs after the convert...
Correct....courier is run from daemontools, not the normal sysvinit
scripts, so creating those "down" files signals daemontools that these
services are not to run.
