Do you mean that the domains are no longer virtual domains?  That
means either that you have 5 IP addresses and 5 copies of the qmail
daemons (qmail-send, qmail-smtpd, etc.) running or that I can send
mail to one of your users using any of the 5 domain names ([EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.) and the mail will all end up going to the same
place.

Unless you have patched qmail with something you haven't
mentioned... or aren't using qmail?

Also, what do you mean by "each having its own TMDA"?  Are you
specifically talking about tmda-ofmipd?  The rest of the programs can
be shared across multiple users/domains on a single machine.

The only files that can change without a user editing them are lists
(specifically CONFIRM_APPEND and BARE_APPEND).  Everything else you
can copy safely to the users' new directories (this includes config,
crypt_key, the entire pending/ directory, the responses/ directory and
the filters/ directory).  Then, stop qmail-smtpd on the original
machine, copy all of the users' lists over to their new locations and
start the SMTP service on the new machine.

You'll have to coordinate the switch with your DNS changes for the new
MX, so mail (particularly confirmation replies that will update the
whitelist) doesn't go to the old server.  How you do this is unrelated
to TMDA, of course, and totally dependent on your particular
situation; are you changing MX names, will the new server's IP address
be the same as the old, and so forth.

Remember that you can leave the old machine in service, forwarding
mail to the new one, by removing your domain names from 'locals' and
'virtualdomains' (leave them in 'rcpthosts') and adding a route to the
new machine in 'smtproutes'.  HUP qmail-send so it rereads locals and
virtualdomains.
