Hi. I currently have postfix on an old machine running debian lenny. Due to performance issues I plan to move the mail server to a newer more powerful system. I am considering various options but I think I will still use debian testing since it has never let me down in several years. I now have two question for the list:
* Postfix stores the mail in Maildir format in /home/vmail and the users/domains/forwards tables are in a sql db. Other than setting up on the new system the same stuff I am currently using (mysql, amavis, sa, ...), will it work if I just copy over the entire 'vmail' directory and the current configuration? Is there anything else I need to move to the new server? * The current box has not been apt-get update'd in months and I plan to keep it this way until I move the mailserver features to the new system. The postfix currently running is 2.4.5-3 (as reported by aptitude). When I setup the new server it will probably install the postfix that is in the lenny repository atm, 2.5.1-1 . My question is: to have the smoothest migration possible, should I upgrade postfix on the old mailserver and THEN copy the confs+maildirs to the new system or can I just do the copy process without bothering about the different releases? Thanks.
