To do this, we used rsync, which tends to handle files very well doing large moves like this. There was one file required by Qmail that was a named-pipe file. I've personally never seen one before, and apparently rsync didn't know how to deal with it so it simply didn't mirror it over. These named-pipe files apparently allow two separate processes to communicate with each other (usually only processes under the same parent can communicate), and since Qmail has separate processes running for the different jobs it does, it would now have to wait for one process to finish so it could deliver a burst of email." ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Qmail Upgrade
You can simple copy the old domains to a new install without problems i do that many times. dont forget to make the same to your autentication system too, some time i must create and delete after copy de domain. Good luck . raider I've never tried to migrate system accounts - Original Message - From: "Max Clark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Duane Stark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 8:06 PM Subject: RE: Qmail Upgrade > Duane, > > If this is only a software upgrade I would suggest running a make world on > your current box.

RE: Qmail Upgrade
Duane, If this is only a software upgrade I would suggest running a make world on your current box. FreeBSD accounts or vpopmail accounts? I've never tried to migrate system accounts, I would assume that this would entail setting up ldap/kerberos/nis or some type of sso service. Vpopmail should be easy, just copy over your vpopmail installation directory and then run the "upgrade" on the new server to the same directory. You might want to check on the vpopmail part of that, but that's how I would do it.

Hey Max, Yup, I am migrating from one server to another..

Duane, The qmail version has not changed in years. Vpopmail is pretty active. What are you trying to do? Migrate to a new server? Check out inter7.com, they make vpopmail.
