Maybe just rsync at regular intervals after initial replication? You could also create a second local qmail install with an smtproutes entry for the local domain to point to the new server. Then add a forward within a global maildrop filter using /var/qmail2/bin/forward (which will use your 2nd install's smtproutes to hit the new box)
Either should get all incoming mail replicated. Rick On Thu, 2008-04-24 at 09:22 -0600, Andrew Niemantsverdriet wrote: > That will not work for this particular migration.
