there isn't one, it loads them right into the database. > The docs says: > "Most current vpopmail users would probably be interested in how to convert > current domains into mysql domains.

Problems? you can do one of two things, and I've done them both so I know they work. You can use vconvert -m -c on the old machine, move the data over, and vconvert -c -m on the new machine, or, if you have nothing else but information for vpopmail on the mysql database, you can stop mysql, tar up the databases, copy them over, and start mysql up on the new server. If you're using different versions of mysql this may not work, and make sure that before you touch the databases you stop mysql entirely. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
