If your method works don't use ours. The only reason I changed was
because my /home/vpopmail/domains directory was so big took 1 full day
to backup and 1 full day to restore. I also changed because some of the
directories changed between QMT on CentOS 5 and QMT on CentOS 7.

Hi Eric & All,
Thanks for your help.
Let me try it out and update you.
I have used qt-backup and qt-restore option in my previous migration.
it was working fine.
Let me try Eric and Biju steps.

The linux command, "hostname", with backticks, i.e.,`hostname`,
called command substitution, allows output of a command to be
stored in another context, in this case the variable 'HOSTNAME'.
If I run the command "hostname" (below) at the prompt I get the
following:
# hostname
myhost.mydomain.com <http://myhost.mydomain.com>
If I run the command "HOSTNAME=`hostname`" (below) at the prompt
the output is stored in the variable 'HOSTNAME' (another context).
# HOSTNAME=`hostname`
# echo $HOSTNAME
myhost.mydomain.com <http://myhost.mydomain.com>

The `hostname` is a short hand for $(hostname). It basically
reads the hostname.
Example:
echo $(hostname)
qmail.rm.ht <http://qmail.rm.ht>

OK - no problem - on the second question what is supposed to go
into HOSTNAME=`hostname` ? Is it 'localhost' or the server's
actual host name?

That authentication line is for the development

Hi Chandran,
Here's what I do:
1) Install Qmail according to link update from testing &
development as you see fit (https://www.qmailtoaster.org
<https://www.qmailtoaster.org/>)
2) Dump mysql database on old machine and copy to new machine
mysql_file=/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
if [ -f $mysql_file ]; then
mysql_host=`cut -d\| -f1 < $mysql_file`
mysql_port=`cut -d\| -f2 < $mysql_file`
mysql_user=`cut -d\| -f3 < $mysql_file`
mysql_password=`cut -d\| -f4 < $mysql_file`
mysql_database=`cut -d\| -f5 < $mysql_file`
fi
mysqldump -u $mysql_user -p$mysql_password -h $mysql_host
$mysql_portparm $mysql_database > ./vpopmail.sql
3) rsync the following directories old server to new
server...squirrelmail, spamassassin, tcprules.d if you
need them.
/home/vpopmail/domains
/var/lib/squirrelmail
/usr/share/squirrelmail
/etc/spamassassin/*.cf
/etc/spamassassin/.spamassassin
/etc/tcprules.d
/var/qmail/users
4) Import mysql database in new machine
mysql -uroot -p vpopmail < ./vpopmail.sql
5) Copy any file in /var/qmail/control/ that you want.
(usually not necessary)
6) Copy any run setting that you want. (usually not necessary)
7) Make sure if you use testing and development repos
(DomainKeys dropped in development) to check run
authentication run settings (export SMTPAUTH="!+cram")
8) stop and start qmail

Hi Biju,
Thanks for your help and steps.
Can i use the qt-backup script to take all the backup in
old server?
Then move this compress file into new server to
qt-restore command.
Anyone have any idea about this?
And one more doubt.
Can i use the same procedure for Hard disk upgrade from
old hard disk to new hard disk in the same machine or any
other simple step there?
Thanks in advance.

2. Create a new domain ( vadddomain) and import the

3. RSync the mail folder from the old to the new

r...@oldserver.com:/home/vpopmail/domains/
<mailto:r...@oldserver.com:/home/vpopmail/domains/>domain1.com/
<http://domain1.com/> /home/vpopmail/domains/domain1com
4. Change the DNS for domain1 to point to the new server.
5. Repeat for the other domains.

Biju
