Compile the new source, but do not install it. Then run vconvert from the new source directory. That one should have the MySQL information compiled in, and will read the domain information from your current install. > Also, I have ezmlm-idx set up with some mailing lists.

(I don't /think/ it will, but it doesn't hurt to check) Not unless you compiled with --enable-valia=y and deleted your .qmail files. If so, there are some issues with valias length limits in MySQL that were fixed in 5.3.10, I believe. Maybe 5.3.11. > Is tere anything I might not have thought of involving making sure > courier can still authenticate virtual users, or things like that? Back up your vpasswd* files, and back up your vpopmail binaries so that if something goes wrong, you can back out easily. Regards, Bill Shupp
