Re: Re[4]: [toaster] Transfer mail accounts from one server to another
I will try to start all over once again I am installing this on CentOS 4.4 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp. Is it a good distribution to use in the long run? OR Is ubuntu a good choice for toaster ? Thanks all for all the help offered so far. I will get back to you all after the installation. Is Vpopmail with MySql a better choice than cdb ?

Re: Re[4]: [toaster] Transfer mail accounts from one server to another
For centos i'm a good advocate since i'm using it for some time and i hadn't had any major problems with anything. Bill's Toaster works fine on all of the machines i'm taking care of and i use centos 4.4 on all of them. It doesn't matter if you change to a mysql setup... if you need to migrate the server you will have the same issue with the logins. If it's not a busy server (meaning logins per second) you don't need to change the cdb setup to mysql and make things more complicated. I advise you to try to workout the problem since you will stumble on it some other time. I needed to migrate a server and i had 40 domains on it, starting from scratch was not an option :) Try using the vqadmin script to add a new dummy domain.
