Hi Eric, Thanks for your advice. Yes, you are right. It's too big size of the hard disk. It's taking time. Better i try above your suggestion and steps. May i know the same process also for new hard disk upgrade with the same machine. Basically those folders need to transferred from old hard

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

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. On 1/30/2019 1:48

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

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? Jeff On 1/29/2019 5:17 PM, Eric Broch wrote: That authentication line is for the development

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

That authentication line is for the development version of qmail (1.03-3.1) which utilizes the qmail-authentication-0.8.3 patch (old patch: 0.5.7). I haven't compiled it yet for

Eric - where does that line go? In the /var/qmail/supervise/submission/run file?  I currently have: I just noticed HOSTNAME is not set - what should it be? QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

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
