Re: [toaster] Stunnel v4 + pop3ds problem
Hello Bill I enabled the stunnel debug in stunnel.conf but the log file stay empty !! I have try to restart stunnel but the init.d/stunnel4 does not seems to work well ... What do you mean by sim-link the pem file ? Thank you Laëtitia 2007/5/1, Bill Shupp [EMAIL PROTECTED]: laety Boop wrote: Hi Rick ! Thank you for your answer. I used the Bill's toaster pop3d.run.v4 as he told to do with stunnel v4. Does someone has any idea ? The problem is that stunnel is for some reason defaulting to /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem, it's not honoring your cert entry in stunnel.conf. I don't know why that is, though. Your run and conf files look correct. Perhaps there's a debug or verbose argument to stunnel. You could also sym-link the pem file to see if that works as a test. Regards, Bill
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.

Re: [toaster] Transfer mail accounts from one server to another
Some thoughts... Unless you have a massive multi server mail installation, or need to manage mail accounts from a custom program, don't mess with a database. CDB is more efficient on a single machine. Even if you are writing a custom program, look at vpopmaild to manage your mail accounts. If you want to move from one machine to another the UID, GID, permissions, ownership, and paths for all files used by qmail, vpopmail and apache must be identical. I suggest you copy and paste the /etc/passwd and /etc/group lines rather than trying to type them. Many of these values are compiled into qmail, vpopmail and qmailadmin. You will need at least /var/qmail/alias, /var/qmail/control, /var/qmail/users and the entire ~vpopmail directory. If you are updating the vpopmail code, do make install after copying the ~vpopmail directory. Be sure all ownership and permissions are preserved. Rick
