cp has had -a for as long as I can remember, but it's not that. Just the relocation of files on the disk / change of inode numbers is enough to give postfix grief, plus there is never any guarantee that the format of the queue files will not change from one platform to another. The documented, correct way to move queue files, or restore them from backup is to run "postsuper -s" when you're done which will correct all of these issues. > If the postfix is started with the old configs in place, is it necessary > to run postfix upgrade-configuration. You should, postfix config is largely backwards-compatible, but there is at least one gotcha in your planned upgrade that will bite you if you don't run upgrade-configuration. Peter
