This is beyond the scope of a xmail forum but: a) does your external NIC have a valid IP? check with 'ipconfig /all' b) does it have a valid gateway adress - ping to your gateway c) check your system logs apps logs on win nt for resource porblems with your external NIC What kind of connection do you have to internet?? If adsl or cable check with 'ipconfig /all' if you have recieved a valid IP from the upstream DHCP-server. If not shut down your server for 30 mins and shutdown cable or adsl box. refire the box and server. If you still wouldn't recieve a valid IP adress; complain to your ISP. PS a 'valid' IP is one you can ping from an other ISP.

[xmail] move domains
L.S. I have two servers: one running Win2k and one running Debian. At the moment the Win2k server is running a couple of mail domains, but I would like to move them to the Linux server. (so I can take the Win2k server offline and upgrade it to Debian ;-) What is the best way to do this? I have total control over the DNS entries for all domains. Should I replicate mailusers.tab and the domains dir on the Linux server and then change the dns entries or is this too simple? Also, what happens 'in between': when a remote mail server has the old dns entry still in cache and the user has the new entry? Or the other way around of course...

[xmail] Re: move domains
Hello, If you need to move mail server, the recommended way is the following: In the following I expect that old.domain.tld is old mail server, new.domain.tld is new mail server for domain.tld. 1. Setup new.domain.tld as backup mail exchanger for domain.tld (it = means: setup the xmail using custdomains). 2. Setup DNS to have old.domain.tld as primary MX (as already is) and new.domain.tld as secondary MX. 3. Wait some time, determined by refresh parameters of domain.tld. 4. Stop old.domain.tld and let it stopped forever. 5. Migrate all users and mailboxes to new server. It can be done by = simply moving the config files and mailboxes, but if moving between NT and UN*X = you need to change line ends accordingly. Don't forget to remove custdomains from new.domain.tld. 6. Remove MX entry for old.domain.tld. In the scenario above, no mail would be lost. P.

[xmail] Re: move domains
I would rather move all the users and their Maildirs to the new server and change the DNS entries and shutdown the old server. Mail might bounce from some senders for a few hours, but after that it'll work great. Do some testing first to see if you can just copy the domains folder and all your config files over to the other server, since im not positive a cross-platform transition would work. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]En nombre de Michal Altair Valasek Enviado el: Sunday, January 05, 2003 4:10 PM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] Re: move domains Hello, If you need to move mail server, the recommended way is the following: In the following I expect that old.domain.tld is old mail server, new.domain.tld is new mail server for domain.tld. 1.

[xmail] Re: move domains
In that case you want to remove the old server as MX and setup the new server as the primary MX, but the config should be as backup MX. When no more mail is going to the old server (within 6 hours, but maybe 8-12 to be safe) then shut down BOTH and transfer the files to the new one and make sure it's no longer setup as backup MX for those domains. I'd also change the address of the server to be the same as the old one so your clients dont need to change their email settings. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]En nombre de Paul Heijman Enviado el: Sunday, January 05, 2003 5:12 PM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] Re: move domains Hi, If I understand the docs etc. I have to use the following in 'custdomains/domain.tld.tab' on the new server: smtprelaytabip.old.server Can I leave the defaults for -Qt, -Qi and -Qr?
