Yes, it will show former aliases. Newly created aliases (forwards to local accounts) will be written as a forward (&emailaddress) instead of a Maildir delivery. Thanks Tom. I'm extremely pleased with how smoothly the upgrade went. My thanks to you and the entire team, you made it painless. Paul Theodoropoulos http://www.anastrophe.com http://www.smileglobal.com

No need to worry. If you install the new software, qmail-local will find the old .qmail-alias files and handle delivery until you get them converted to valias table entries. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

Re: [vchkpw] finally going to update
1. upgrade my vpopmail installation 2. run dotqmail2valias -a or 1. run dotqmail2valias -a from within the src dir 2. then upgrade my vpopmail installation On my production system I am running the MySQL backend. I have probably 10K accounts spread across several hundred domains. I had been incrementally installing the latest vpopmail versions as they were released, but I hadn't been making use of the mysql valias functions (i had been configuring --disable-valias). Recently I decided I should swap to using the mysql valias config. So I reconfigured/built vpopmail --enable-valias, and then ran the dotqmail2valias conversion problem All my aliases were converted to MySQL successfully. Michael.
