First needed to sed old vpasswd file...
I tar'ed it up and put it here so I have to add correct path to the old
vpasswd...
sed -e "s/\/home\//\/home\/oldemail\//g" vpasswd > vpasswd.new
mkdir /home/oldemail
on old email system..
tar -cf - /home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com | ssh -l root
newmailserver.domain.com "cat > /home/oldemail/domain.tar"
this will tar and transfer the old email to the new server....
new server
cd /home/oldemail
tar -xvf domain.tar
which creates home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com
now it looks like
/home/oldemail/home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com
then I used the perl script above..
Thought I would send this to group just in case someone else needed to do
this....
