Hi,
Thanks to all who answered the question.
The question was obviously badly framed as I was really
asking "has anyone converted a running server to a VM?".
The information gained is great but has anyone converted
their system to an image yet? Was it successful? Did it take
long? Am I better off rebuilding then transferring?
best wishes
Tony White

Hi Eric,
What kind of internet connection do you have at home that allows you to host
email from there? My ISP blocks port 25.

I've been running QMT as a VM for several years now. First on VMware Server
(1&2), and presently on ProxmoxVE (native linux virtualization). I run it as a
KVM, which does better efficiency-wise with COS6 than COS5. OpenVZ should perform
nicely. I think some folks here have also run it under Xen.
A few folks have run QMT using a VPS service. Like Alex says, be sure to have
enough RAM in this situation.
You should have no problems particular to QMT with VMware. You might want to
refer to http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Virtual_QMT for a few pointers.
Note, the VMware info there may be a bit dated.
I'd be interested to know how many people self-host virtual QMTs vs using a
service. Please chime in here if you're running QMT on a virtual platform.
Personally, I prefer self hosting. I've had a QMT running in my home for nearly
8 years, with 5 or so being virtual.
Thanks for asking, Tony. :)

Hi Tony,
There is no issues running QMT in the virtual environment as is.
I have been running QMT in the virtual environment for probably 5-6
years now. Only potential issue is memory (if the server is handling
many domains + MySQL + ClamAV)
You have to choose a good provider providing CentOS image. I am using
linode and can only recommend them.

Alex

Hi folks,
Has anyone tried to virtualize a QMT server yet?
Has it worked? If so can you tell me how you did it
so I can do it for my server please?
Need to move to VM fairly soon as my server is having
issues.
