This exact same thing happened to me. The fix for me was to run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu. This did the trick for me. Although for me mail to the main domain worked, just not to virtual domains. Took me about 4 hours searching through the man pages at http://www.qmail.org/man/
EVERYONE HERE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD MIND NUMBING TOUR! Would make Jake's job a lot easier. :) Anyway that's my two cents. NAME qmail-newu - prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn SYNOPSIS qmail-newu DESCRIPTION qmail-newu reads the assignments in /var/qmail/users/assign and writes them into /var/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format suited for quick access by qmail-lspawn. If there is a problem with users/assign, qmail-newu complains and leaves users/cdb alone. qmail-newu ensures that users/cdb is updated atomically, so qmail-lspawn never has to wait for qmail-newu to finish. However, qmail-newu makes no attempt to protect against two simultaneous updates of users/cdb. The binary users/cdb format is portable across machines. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Ring [mailto:pr...@pringtech.net] Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 4:27 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Big problems after old-to-new qmt migrate Is there a definitive way to tell what version the old server is?

If you look in the restore script you'll see there's some commands commented out. These were needed when I went from an old version to a newer one. The error you said you got about not being able to read a user's dir sounds like permission problems. Check to make sure 89:89 is free in your /etc/passwd, since vpopmail will want to use those UID/GIDs. If your older version did NOT user 89:89, you'll see the qmail-newu command in the resore script (commented out) as this will be needed to change the UID for vpopmail. This is mostly guessing though, without seeing the exact errors/logs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
