Friends,

I intend to build a new mail server

I see that there are installation instructions at

http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Main_Page#Installation

but this seems to talk about centos 5.n

That is severely deprecated. Will someone please update that with this link: https://github.com/QMailToaster/qmailtoaster-util/blob/master/README.install

is there newer instuctions for centos 6.

See link above.

also should one do centos 6  32 bit or 64bit ?

Suit yourself. If you think you may need more than 4G, use 64bit. Otherwise, doesn't matter much.

My thinking is 32 bit should be fine.... what do you think?

I use 32 bit on VMs. If you're putting it on 64-bit hardware though, I'd use the 64-bit version, just in case you want to increase ram.

also my goal is to have a new mail server and migrate users - reCreate
users from my old mailserver
( a toaster on centos 4 )

I hope to have spamdyke and any other "good ideas" ... I am really
hoping to cut down on spam.

spamdyke will go a long way toward that. It's part of the stock QMT6 now.

In short what is the suggested install doc? and does anyone have any
suggestions to add?

Just the link above. It's really simple now, and quick.

Given how old your vpopmail is, I'd recommend creating the user accounts manually on the new host (how many do you have?)

I have  5 domains
with a TOTal of ~ 50 users ( most ~40 being in just 2 of the domains )

, and then using rsync to bring over the maildirs. That should work fine.

Let us know if you have any other questions or problems.

Thanks.

Thanks brother , I am sure I will have ....  some  "   problems  "

I will be digging in soon , and I am going 64 bit

wow -- is it really this few steps now ... just


some curl
sh qt-bootstrap-1
some more curl
sh qt-bootstrap-2
and
qt-install

also

I am replacing a server w ipnum

n.n.n.222
I was  thinking of building this as
n.n.n.224

and after seeing all was well
just changing the ipNum from old 222 ( to be turned off , retired or made 224 )
and the "new" server then gets the current ip num of n.n.n.222

My question is -- is there anything that happens in
the bootstrap scripts that will impact any of that?

thanks much
