[vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration

2002-11-18 Thread zak

I have an existing vpopmail/qmail server hosting several domains.

I've put together a new server on the same subnet to replace the old one.  
vpopmail is configured and functioning properly on the new server.  My 
plan is to simply copy the /home/vpopmail/* directory to the new server, 
and move the IP address from new to old.

My question is:  Are there any important files withing /var/qmail or 
elsewhere that also need to be moved at the time of migration? 

Thank you.

make sure that the permission (uid and gid are the same on the new server.
also the qmail control files need to be copied over also. and the db needs
to match everything else.

so to sum it all up..

qmail, /var/vpopmail and the db all need to match. I have done this many
times and it is a very tricky operation.

  Zak,


 Move also the rcpthosts (and morercpthosts file), virtualdomains and
any other /var/qmail/control  file which has information about your
virtual domains.

Please check the archives first, this has been answered countless times
before.  Either way, here's what you'll need:

/var/qmail/control/*
/var/qmail/rc
/var/qmail/users/*
