But of course all of the paths are wrong What I could see from vconvert.c source code it searches the location of vpasswd file in "/var/qmail/users/assign". So I'd suggest you - either add the new domain via 'vadddomain' if you switched to a new server and the old directories aren't present - or correct the path in above mentioned file to fit the new location if you're working on the same server and only recompiled vpopmail. vconvert searches a.m. file for correct path, opens 'vpasswd' fiel in this found location and does a 'vdeldomain' followed by a 'vaddomain' and than parses the vpasswd file into 'vadduser' (of course called functions are named a littel bit different, as it uses the API calls directly, the the principle should be shown correctly). So you have to use vconvert of vpopmail compiled with MySQL support, for 'vadddomain' and 'vadduser' being able to add the users to database!!! For security reasons I'd make a backup of old vpopmail directories as well as of database before trying to convert, there are deleting action I don't know of all possible consequences!!! If conversation fails again I'd suggest you send the file produced by strace -o /tmp/vconvert.log -f -s 1024 ~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -c -m -d <domain> namely the file '/tmp/vconvert.log', as attachment for us being able to inspect what could have went wrong. After all this is done (successfully) you should call 'qmail-newu' to update the qmail-user-cdb file according to qmail-user-assign, which contains the new path(s). Make sure you keep a copy of original 'assign' file as well, in case something went wrong you should copy it back and call qmail-newu, so old paths are prevented. > What vpopmail needs is a big picture like Dan has put together for qmail.

That would be most informative. ... and showing vpopmail using pgsql, cdb, etc ... simply all types of lookup ... quite big project, which is I assume the reason nobody has done this "big picture" before :-) -- Ciao, Pit
