Re: [vchkpw] QMail transfer - changing Postmaster password
Thanks Jeremy. So my plan is this: Install RedHat Enterprise Install QMail, vpopmail, vqadmin, qmailadmin and squirrelmail. Transfer vpopmail directory, and qmail directory over to new machine make sure the GID and UID's are the same Test everything out and make sure it's all working use RSYNC to transfer left over emails right before I do change over so none of them are lost. Does this sound correct? -Austin Jorden - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kitchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 1:27 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] QMail transfer - changing Postmaster password
