I just love surprises :) But back to the question, sorry I didn't put the full conf report, but both the old and new do have the virtual_mailbox_maps, but the problem is there are multiple domains, and on the old the path is as I said; /home/vmail/domain1/user. Using me as the example, the old would be;
/home/vmail/domain1/lance/Maildir/ (new/cur/ ...) /home/vmail/domain2/lance/Maildir/ (new/cur/ ...) with the new server it's simply; /home/vmail/lance@domain1/Maildir/lance@domain1/Maildir (new/cur) I hope that makes it a bit more clearer, but looking at the old conf and seeing how it uses a mysql query, the old server has similar queries (table names are diff now), but did notice a slight difference, notice the 2; *old.* user = root password = pass dbname = mail table = users select_field = CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') where_field = email * new.* hosts = localhost user = postfix password = pass dbname = postfix table = mailbox select_field = maildir where_field = username additional_conditions = and active = '1' result_format = %sMaildir/ No harm in trying so I am going to play a bit with the new and see what I find, but if things don't work ... be prepared for more surprises!
