[vchkpw] Help..... server crashed
My server crashed and I had been running QMail, vpopmail, courier-imap, etc for a couple years now. I was able to back up the /home/vpopmail directory, but didn't get to back up anything else. I have courier-imap running and I got vpopmail installed (at least I think I do). When I do a bin/vuserinfo user, I get the following: bin/vuserinfo user Error. Domain was not found in the assign file name: user passwd: long password string here clear passwd: real password here uid:1 gid:0 flags: 0 gecos: user limits: No user limits set. dir: /home/vpopmail/users/user quota: NOQUOTA usage: NOQUOTA last auth: Wed Feb 16 07:44:06 2005 last auth ip: 127.0.0.1 Though the /home/vpopmail/domains directory is there with the domains, it's not seeing the domains and is looking for the assign file. How do I recreate the assigns file? Do I do it manually? How do I recreate the vpasswd file(s) properly so that I can log in and get the mail? Do I need to go and completely reinstall qmail and all the things with it? I just want to get the old mail out so I can save it. I was using squirrelmail and had subfolders, etc. I would like to be able to get all my mail ie. the sent ones and the ones that are in other folders. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Tom, The last option, once I do the vadddomain, will I want to do the vaddusers or no? The original vpasswd files are still there, so I would assume not? I'll give that a go, since there are only 2 domains.

Manually create the assigns file, entry for example.com is as follows: +example.com-:example.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com:-:: Replace 89:89 with the uid and gid of the vpopmail user. Set the correct path to example.com as well. Make sure the last line of users/assign is just a .. Run qmail-newu. You'll also want to make sure that the domains are in rcpthosts (or morercpthosts, but you'll have to run qmail-newmrh). Also put them in virtualdomains (format for virtualdomains entries: example.com:example.com). Restart qmail after making all of those additions, to be sure it's re-read the files. Another option, if have less than 100 domains (where they're all in the vpopmail/domains directory, and not in vpopmail/domains/0). Rename vpopmail/domains to something else and create an empty domains directory. Use ~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain to add all of the domains. Delete the newly created domains directory, and swap your backed up directory in its place.

[vchkpw] Moving old Email after Upgrading
Ok. I posted once and haven't gotten a reply. Does anyone know to move the old email and folders after an upgrade is performed. The old structure was /home/vpopmail/users/user/Maildir but with adding domains, the structure is /home/vpopmail/domains/users/user/Maildr. I figured tarring up the old Maildir and untarring it to the new Maildir would do it. It didn't, so luckily I had a backup before I tried it. What happened was that the only directory that showed up was the Inbox. It would not let me access or create a Sent or Drafts or anything, since it thought it did exist. It did exist, but was not accessible. it wasn't a permissions problem either. So, can I get some help as some users have a large number of folders they created with old saved mails. Thanks.
[vchkpw] Moving old mail
I recently upgraded to the latest version of qmail, vpopmail and sqwebmail. Everything is working properly. However, with the new release of vpopmail, it has the vdomain set up with the users inside the domains directory. The earlier version that I was using, didn't do it this way. How can I move the old emails and folders and everything to the new directories and have the current release read the old emails. I tried to do a tar of the old directory of /home/vpopmail/users/username and restore it to the /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/username and this made the Sent and a few other folders disappear. And I couldn't recreate them, because it was saying they existed. I've since restore the user directories under the domain name directory to what they were before I started. Is there an FAQ or something that explains how to move the mail and everything? Thanks in advance.
