Re: [vchkpw] migrating
Actually, I am currently working on the same thing (moving an entire IMail 6 on Win2K Pro to vpopmail on FreeBSD) and came up with an interesting way to migrate people over. We're using IMail's internal user database, and this may or may not work if you're using an external database or the NT one. (I've only dealt with IMail at two different places, and both used the internal IMail database.) As always, YMMV. I found a neat little utility that can be run from the command line on Win2000 to export the usernames and passwords of all IMail users on all domains. Each domain goes into its own text file. It's supposed to export in several formats (CSV, or having columns for each thing starting at a fixed place, etc.) Never could make CSV work, but I was able to use fixed-width fields. I then conjured up a shell script into which you can cat(1) the text file (just remove the first line with the field names, and the last one with the _alias user.) This script would extract (using a hack of commands) the usernames and passwords, then call vadduser to add their accounts (including username, password, and GECOS fields.) Only problems I have had with this method: Users who have their mail forwarded are created on the new server, but their mail isn't forwarded. For me, this isn't a problem, since I can scroll through there and spot-check them, then manually (through qmailadmin) set up those who need it. No biggie. Also, aliases aren't converted, so you have to do those by hand. (We don't have many aliases either.) Lists are also a manual thing, but we have very few of those. If you have alot of aliases/lists/forwarded accounts, this could be a major pain. There might be a better way that I missed, but this one works fine for my purposes and beats typing it all out by hand for sure! :) If anyone's interested in this please E-Mail me directly and let me know. (I'm not at work right now, and I'd have to be there to find the exact names of the software I used.) I can send you the link to the software and a copy of the script, etc. Call it a dirty hack, but it works. However, YMMV.

[vchkpw] Migrating users
I've recently gone through a server migration of 20 or so domains, none of which had a ton of email in them. Here's what I did: 1. add domain to new server using vadddomain 2. stop qmail-send on old server 3. tar/gzip /home/vpopmail/domains/domaintomove.com directory 4. Move to new server and untar into place, overwriting existing vpasswd and postmaster files. 5. vdeldomain on the old server 6. add domain to rcpthosts on old server 7. add domain:newserver to smtproutes on old server 8. restart qmail-send 9. change DNS. This worked fine for my small server with few messages and few clients that would notice anything strange. However, I've been asked to do the same on another mail server with several hundred domains and 15 gig of mail. In order to transfer one domain with lots of mail, I could potentially have to have the stuff down for an extended period of time. I don't want people reading email while I'm tarring up their domain's email. My question is... is there a better way than the steps I described above? Rick
[vchkpw] Migrating -> upgrading server
Hi! I consider to re-install my mail-server from scratch (several reasons, one of them is to get better management-options on the Intel Server Board inside the server, another is that it is easier for me to keep the server updated with RPM packages than compiling everything manually every time security-updates are needed)... It is running RedHat 7.3 right now, with qmail and vpopmail v5.2 compiled with MySQL support. In order to move things to a new server while re-installing (and also to migrate back to the new installation), I guess the procedure is something like the following (but please do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong): 1. Stop qmail services 2. Backup MySQL database (or dump contents) 3. Make backup of everything in /home/vpopmail/domains 3. Backup files in var/qmail/control (these probably needs to be modified slightly afterwards) 4. Make backup of /etc/tcp.smtp 5. Make backup of /services 6. Make backup of log-files When installting the new server, qmail and vpopmail will be installed from scratch. The way to restore everything "back to normal" will then be: 1. Stop running qmail 2. Modify /services scripts 3. Use correct tcp.smtp file 4. copy/merge files in /var/qmail/control 5. Restore data into /home/vpopmail/domains 6. Restore data from old MySQL database into new database 7. Start qmail services I plan to upgrade to vpopmail 5.2.24+ (one of the versions, where the mysql-password no longer is hardcoded into the binaries - cannot remember when that feature was implemented) Any comments or special considerations ? Regards, /Brian

[vchkpw] Migrating to new server
I am currently running qmail+vpopmail and have a newly built server running qmail+vpopmail+ezmlm-idx. I created a script that simply does the vadddomain , vadduser (with password) in order for each domain name. I look at the account with vuserinfo to check if everything work correctly. All accounts were added successfully and passwords were applied with each account. All qmail control files were populated correctly. Everything looks great. Change the ifconfig for both machines to swap IP address and reboot both. Both machines boot up correctly with the correct ip addresses and all qmail and vpopmail services and running fine. Except when I try to check my email, the authentication fails stating that my password was rejected. Again, checking the account with vuserinfo reveals that the password is correct. Any ideas?

[vchkpw] Migrating vmailmgr to vpopmail+mysql
Resurrecting previous post that I found on MARC: hi together, does anybody know a way to convert mails and accounts from vmailmgr to vpopmail? i already searched the archive and google without any result. thanks! regards alex - I'm currently in the same situation and am looking for feedback in the same area. So far as I have planned it out, I have come up with this steps: 1) Create the domains using the vpopmail script 2) Create mailboxes through vpopmail script of all the mailboxes in vmailmgr. Once the mailboxes are created, replace the password strings in vpopmail with the password strings (md5 or crypt) that were in vmailmgr. Then copy the contents of mailbox from vmailmgr to vpopmail (understanding a little change in the directory structure). 3) Aliases ... can just use .qmail- when moving over. This is the way I was thinking might work since I don't have a second machine to put vpopmail on and then transfer everything that way. If anybody has any thoughts on problems/concerns/pointers I would greatly appreciate it. James - If you use the -e option to vadduser, you should be able to pass in the encrypted password. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I have a python script which helped me with the conversion. But its only in a undocumented just-worked-for-me state. I can post it if someone is interested, but merely as a pointer to what needs to be done as a working script. It reads the informationen from listvdomain and starts the vpopmail scripts with this infos. If I remeber correctly, I had to patch listvdomain to also print out the md5-password, but then you can use the -e option of vadduser. Florian - Thanks for those tidbits, fellows...but I would like to consult with you for any further experiences/scripts/anything regarding this type of migration. Here's the background...I'm replacing our existing stand-alone servers with a cluster backed by vpopmail+mysql replication. With that solution engineered, the next step is figuring out how to incur 'zero customer impact' - aka flawless (I pray) migration. The above poster mentions a patch to listvdomains that echo's the hashed password. That would be fantastic, as it could easily be fed into vadduser -e $whatever, creating the accounts and maildirs in a flash...I could then rsync the mail over until the actual cutover takes place. Or move dns...smtproutes on old box -> new box...sticky-bit...tar...scp...untar...fix perms... Does anyone have any experiences to share ? Thanks for any help, guys. -- aichains
Re: [vchkpw] migrating to new server
Hi.. you can use vmoduser -b to bounce all incoming mail vmoduser -s to disable all SMTP auth Optionally you can set the quota to 0 which is a dirty solution, it will also bounce all mail, perhaps the -b flag is better..

[vchkpw] Migrating Vpopmail to a new server
Hi, I've been given the job of migrating one of our existing Vpopmail servers accross to a new machine. I have successfully installed the latest version of Vpopmail on the new machine, but I have some questions about the next part of the migration. The current server has just under 5000 domains and subdomains and each of those has about 3-4 users each. What is the process for migrating from one Vpopmail install to another? Can I just recursively copy accross all of the files under '/home/vpopmail/domains'? And if so, is there some command I have to run after the copy accross to re-index the directories or Maildirs? The authentication system used is just the default 'CDB' file format on both of the servers. Another, related question is that I'm trying to find out the version of the Vpopmail that is installed on the old server, but am having some trouble. I've tried running some of the programs under the '/home/vpopmail/bin' directory with the '-v' and '--version' flags, but was unable to get a version number.

I did this recently on a server using CDB, and here are the general steps that I did, in order. stop qmail on old add domain.com to new (use any password, next step will fix it) copy ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com from old to new (I used rsync, ssh would work as well) change MX record on DNS server to point to new remove domain.com from old add domain.com back to rcpthosts on old make sure old has new MX record for domain.com start qmail on old Keep in mind that this worked for me because server "old" was also the DNS server for all of the domains, so I was sure it would have the correct MX record for each domain as I moved it. If you don't have that luxury, I think you can use smtproutes on the old server to force it to relay the mail to the new server. I was able to automate a lot of the process using scripts and ssh between the two hosts (I set them up as trusted hosts so I wouldn't have to constantly enter my password).

QmailAdmin calls ezmlm-make. The config file in the list's directory should tell you everything you need to know in regards to creating the list. You should be able to use the config file to generate a call to ezmlm-make to create your new list, and then pipe the output of ezmlm-list (for the old list) to ezmlm-sub (for the new list) to transfer the subscribers, moderators (if appropriate) and digest subscribers (if appropriate) to the new list. I suspect you could simply copy the subscribers, mod/subscribers and digest/subscribers (I'm guessing on that digest path) from the old directory to the new one. ezmlm-make is probably a better solution than just copying the list's confi directory and recreating the .qmail-list-whatever symlinks, as you'll have to edit the configuration files to use the new list's pathname, and change the old domain to the new domain in files like inhost.

Re: [vchkpw] Migrating all lists to another domain
Yeah, i see this is allright and all... Now what really has me gnawing on my footnails is, why do i have some lists that do have a config file, but i have others that do not. In fact, most do not have the config file.

Re: [vchkpw] Migrating Vpopmail to a new server
I would not use CDB just my point of view. Go to mysql way faster and better for all those domains you got.

The question is do you have users email on your server or do they pop that? If they pop3 it that¹s easy by using learn password make sure they use that for the first time which sets their password to what they have now (pop3) as far as I know does not work with imap.

MySQL is perfect for sites that need to cluster. If your potential growth does not indicate a need to cluster, I'd stick with CDB, mostly because it's one less point of failure, as well as the fact that there's no networked database with resource locking involved. - -- /* Matt BrookingsGnuPG Key FAE0672C Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

[vchkpw] Migrating from crypt /etc/shadow to md5 vpasswd
I am moving customers over from a non-vpopmail setup authenticating off /etc/shadow with crypt passwords, to a vpopmail setup (same box) which uses md5. Is there any way to do this easier than: 1. getting the cleartext passwords and re-encrypting into md5 2. or turning on a password learning mode of the pop/imap server Alternately is there anyway to tell vpopmail to use crypt instead of md5 "on a per domain basis". I realize I can build vpopmail to disable md5 support (in favor of crypt), but was wondering if this is possible on a per domain basis.

[vchkpw] Migrating an entire domain to a different server.
Running vpopmail version: 5.3.19, with MySQL auth (I know - Have to upgrade!), and we have one client who wishes to move there domain to a new server - The domain contains about 400 accounts, and I was wondering the best way to migrate the entire domain? - Add clients_domain to new server - Copy /home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain/* to new server - Copy MySQL entries for domain to new server?
