Re: [vchkpw] Hacked machine
I trust you are not storing your users in a mysql database. If you are then you'll need to backup and restore that too... - Original Message - From: "Widmer Hannes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "vpopmail list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 4:16 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Hacked machine Hello List I have a hacked machine and I have to reinstall this one tonight.

"How do I move mail and account information from one machine to another?" Would any of the more experienced members of the list be willing to write a short piece on doing a move (or backup/restore procedure) like this? Perhaps even including information on configuring the old server to forward mail to the new server in the case of a move? We could bounce it around on the vpopmail-devel list on SourceForge and then put it up on the Document Manager page of the SourceForge project. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester
