Alright, thanks for the tips on vconvert - I have, in the meantime, found out that it is one of the worst documented utilities. Heck, not even inter7 has a decent man page for it. I think that vconvert -c -m domain.name will do the trick, though (or just vconvert -c -m for all domains).
That's where the present 'rub' is, though.
The scenario:
- I have the new server, set up with qmail-toaster, and vpopmail 5.38, qmailadmin 1.06. All configured for mysql.
- I have data from the legacy server, with standard cdb files in the vpopmail configuration without mysql.
So, while obviously I can just drop over the content of /home/vpopmail/domains into the new location, that doesn't really convince qmail to see any of those domains, and consequently vconvert doesn't see them either.
So:
- what else, besides dropping the content of /domains/ in place, do I need to do / copy over from the prior installation in order for the domains to be recognized by qmail, qmailadmin, and hence vconvert?
You also need /var/qmail/control/* and /var/qmail/users/*
And make sure the uid and gid in the /var/qmail/users/assign file matches the uid and gid for vpopmail and vchkpw on the new server.
