|Hi, | |Firstly I dont suggest you do this if you dont already know postfix quite |well, |if at all possible maby get some help or give a freind a call who might be |able to |help you out if you get stuck. | |Secondly you should also maby spend some time reading about postfix before |considering this. | |Now.... There are a few things you would have to tell us before we could try |to help you |are you going from gentoo + postfix to gentoo + postfix ? are you |reinstalling the gentoo machine |if so why ? are you just changing the ip ? or are you making a whole |reinstall for anther whole reason ?
]- ok... it is a postfix install on mandrake which I did.. It is working rock solid no problem. I would want to move it to gentoo-box. The reason for this is I want to free the old machine (it is not so old :")) from this service.. Other reasons is that it is rather hard to upgrade postfix on this machine via urpmi, u know :") Also i want to set spare machine for mai, web-mail, antivir, spam-filering etc.. instead of using current one. The config of the new mail will be almost untouched... except changed addresses of cource.. The real problems is handling DNS + /mail-queues and + user+mailboxes changes. Even this is not hard if I have the choice to do this with big interuption, that is what i can't do :"( My initial idea was : Setting the new mail server with higher prvilege in DNS, so from the time this DNS change get updated worldwide (it is aprox. 2 days, isnt it) all mail will go to the new mail server. the problems is what is happening in between... and how to transffer old mail's & queues concurently to the new server, so that they are available and not duplicate... In fact that is the BIG trouble.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
