I'd like to move my user and domains database which runs vpopmail-4.9.10
to a new computer running vpopmail-5.0.

I use the default user/domain storing facility in vpopmail-4.9.10 (I do
not use any mysql or ldap database backend).

User/domain/mails/passwords seems to be in ~vpopmail/domains so I'd
like to know if moving the domain file hierarchie will be enough to move
all vpopmail data ?


This is the protocol I have planned :

1) stop qmail-smtpd
2) stop qmail-pop3d
3) stop qmailadmin et vqadmin (httpd stop)
4) wait for the qmail-queue to be empty 
5) copy ~qmail/control to the new mailserver
6) move ~vpopmail/domains to the new mailserver
7) shut down the old mailserver
8) change the ip address of the new mailserver to match the old address.
9) take a beer.

Does this protocol seems correct ?

What is ~vpopmail/users ?


Thank you.
