0.5 is almost done. It will cover installing SpamAssassin at the MTA level, along with ClamAV, both of which are called via qmail-scanner. Got some cool new MRTG stuff too with patched to qmailmrtg7 for spamd, dnscache, and tinydns. > Ok. coming to my issue of Migration > > I have RH 6.2 > Running Qmail1.03 with out any patches > Vpopmail+mysql > qmailadmin > sqwebmail > > and i want to migrate to new server with > RH 9.0 > with Qmail 1-03+ 0.5 patch+checkuser patch > vpopmail latest + mysql > > i want to move the users with out any loss of data, > > may be small down time for the service > > any suggestions and proceedures will be appriciated I'd do it like this: 1. Install the software with the same UIDs on the new box. That will save lots of headaches. 2. Lower TTLS if IPs are changing. 3. rsync the data. 4. convert accounts to mysql on new box 5. shut off qmail on old box 6. rsync data again 7. update dns (if changing IPs) 8. forward all smtp traffic to new box via smtproutes (again only if IPs are changing) If the 2 machines are close by (same data center) you should be able to do this with under 5 minutes of downtime. I love rsync.. ;) Bill
