Lindsay said it, it should work by simple copying everything over. You will save a lot of trouble when you can bypass copying queued messaged. I would suggest the following steps: * shut down courier on both servers. * copy configs, whatever user-account-setup you use so the new server. * check the config of the new server and start this one. Make sure it works as intended. * insert the old server as RELAYCLIENT in the new server's esmtpaccess file, so that the old server may deliver everything to the new one. * setup a default route from the old server to the new one via smtproutes like ": new-server" * run "courier flush" on the old one to transfer all messages in the queue to the new box. This will insert an additional line in all messages currently in queue but the way of transfer is clean. If you're lazy, you can also copy the whole queue from one to another. But don't complain. If you move from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS, it WILL NOT WORK when you copy the queue as files. I tried that. ;-) regards, Bernd -- Windows Error 005: Multitasking attempted. System confused.
