Hii Yash,
This is Dhruv from Noida , You don't know me but i know u very
well.Coz im also from YMCA and ur cousins(Prashant Nagar and Sandeep Nagar)
were good friend of mine.Currently Working as System Admin in FCS Software
Solutions Noida.
We Were using Nt/2000 Servers/Workstations
before but now we r switching to Linux 7.3.I have just configured Samba and
Sendmail on it.But as we are switching from MS Exchange to Linux. So is that
possible that we import all the mail boxes right from MS Exchange to
linux.Coz its not good to create all the mail boxes again and can we change
default path of Storage of mail from /var/spool/mail to any other path.Tell
me how can we do that.And Last thing Is theres any criteria that all the
mails will also come to /var/spool/mail/root .Coz whenever i mail from one
user to other root always getsthe mail.How to stop that, coz that will
waiste lot of disk space.And if u can gimme your personal Email Id pls.Mine
is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanx & Regards,
Dhruv Soi
