1) From looking at the install docs, I think rsync is included when QMT
is installed, but it is not part of default install as I just checked.
2) I will make the necessary adjustments when ready.
3) Suppose we'll find out, as I haven't found anything regarding this
admin pass.
Thanks again, Eric, I'll keep the list posted as to progress.

default on minimal install, not sure.
2) Yes for spamassassin rsync from /etc/mail/spamassassin to
/etc/spamassassin this changed with QMT on CentOS 6
3) I suppose that the admin password does not have to be the same. I
must have had a mind slip. :-P

Eric,
That list looks good, except:
/etc/spamassassin should be /etc/mail/spamassassin, unless it's
different on CentOS7.
I'm unsure as to the MariaDB admin password on the current machine as
my predecessor set it up.
I will poke around my docs and see if I can find anything. And, I
didn't realize rsync was not in default install in minimal. Weird.
Thanks again, Eric, this is very helpful. Everybody here is the best.

Hi Sean,
Off the top of my head I do the following:
On the QMT/COS7 Install make the MariaDB admin password the same as
on your old machine.
1) Install rsync on both machines
2) Make ssh work without password
# How to make the below rsync ssh command work without a password
# exec ssh-agent bash
# ssh-keygen
# ssh-copy-id 'new server ip'
# ssh 'new server ip'
3) I rsync the CONTENTS of the following folders, old server to new
/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs
/usr/share/spamassassin
/etc/spamassassin
/etc/tcprules.d
/var/qmail/control
/var/qmail/users
/home/vpopmail/domains
rsync --progress --delete -var -e ssh ${folder}/
$REMOTEUSER@$REMOTEHOST:${folder}
4) Dump vpopmail mysql database on old server and restore on new.
At this point you should be able to connect to the new server from
mail clients.
5) Secure qmailadmin and vqadmin /etc/httpd/conf/toaster.conf for
CentOS 7 ( http://www.qmailtoaster.com/notes.html)
Hope I'm not forgetting anything.

Good day all,
I've finally acquired a "new" machine to house our current install
of the toaster, installed CentOS 7 and ran all available updates,
and rounded up the preparatory files for the install. I will most
likely install qmailtoaster and take it on a test drive before
migrating our current install to the new box. I would like to
inquire on the best way to do this, since the current install is on
a CentOS 5 box and we are running Courier instead of Dovecot.
Should I restore from a backup, or should I recreate the domain on
the new box? I'm in no hurry, the current install is performing
like a champ, and I have a backup machine in place should something
go awry before the new machine is ready. Any advice or horror
stories would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
