Hey debisps and whatnot, I need to migrate some mailboxes in standard mbox format from a solaris box+sendmail to a Debian qmail+vpopmail solution....
I had never seen this sendmail mbox format in this way (until i stfw).... im shure though, that youll immediatly recognize it: /mnt/[a-n]/[a-z]/user.leftmost-domain-name-component Say /mnt/[n-z]/[a-z]/auser.foo (for foo.bar) This should, of course, be converted to maildir+vmailmgr format which goes (as you know): /vmailhome/domains/domain/user/allmailshere Say /vmailhome/domains/foo.bar/auser/Maildir/hismails Now.... the sole mbox's filename is not enough to build the proper vpopmail boxes (through a script) now, we are talking of about 15gigs of mail here and, of course, I need a script to do this..... No problem, i can script that and have many mbox2maildir tools available (in perl its 10 lines)..... The problem is that I dont know in which of sendmail's many files can i find a direct mapping: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unixusername (auser.foo) [EMAIL PROTECTED] unixusername (anotheruser.lee) Or a way to generate such a thing.....if i had this, i could script this in ten minutes, and have the conversion done in an hour tops.....The confusion arrises from the fact that im not shure if auser.foo and auser.foo.bar (from say [EMAIL PROTECTED]) are the same guy, or go to the same domain or whatever!.. if i dont have a table as that explained above..... Let alone that....i cant get the endings of their domains.... for auser.foo and auser.foo.bar ....how can i tell which is foo.bar.net and which is foo.bar ...for that matter, how the hell do i create the vmailmgr's directories if i dont know (for real) how the domains should end... Any ideas from those sendmail gurus out there??? Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
