Hi,
I'm relatively new to qmail admin, and have searched the documentation,
FAQ and various list archives for help with this problem, to no avail.
I have taken over administration of a qmail/vpopmail installation and
need to swap a domain with another domain which is currently its alias -
ie, so that the 'aliasing' is reversed. I followed these steps...
1. Shut down qmail with 'qmailctl stop'. Had issues with smtpd not
stopping, so I ran svc -d qmail-smtpd, which stopped it.
2. Edit /var/qmail/users/assign and change these two lines...
+mydomain.com-:mydomain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com:-::
+myaliasdomain.com-:mydomain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com:-::--
to read
+mydomain.com-:myaliasdomain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/myaliasdomain.com:-::
+myaliasdomain.com-:myaliasdomain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/myaliasdomain.com:-::--
3. Update /var/qmail/users/cdb by running qmail-newu. Ran 'strings cdb |
grep domain.com' to ensure changes had taken affect.
4. Copy /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com tree to
/home/vpopmail/domains/myaliasdomain.com, retaining all file permissions
and ownership ('rsync -az mydomain.com/ myaliasdomain.com').
5. Edit /home/vpopmail/domains/myaliasdomain.com/vpasswd and change all
directories to be under /home/vpopmail/domains/myaliasdomain.com
6. Reboot server
I would have thought that these steps would be enough, but having
followed them, mail is still being delivered to the old directory
(/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com).
I'm guessing somewhere in the qmail or vpopmail config I've left a
reference to the old directory. I can not for the life of me work out
where it might be though.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
P
