I would suggest following procedure : 1. make sure that new toaster accepts eMails for your domains 2. change the MX records 3. stop email processes on old toaster 4. copy the domains folder to new toaster...

Thank you, thank you, for providing such a grand framework! We just built a brand spanking new v0.8.1 toaster, installing literally everything mentioned on the site, and everything works as expected. Thank you, again. There are a couple of things we want to do, that we haven't yet figured out. This message solicits help on one of those. We have tried various instantiations of this toaster, rolling our own stuff on top of qmail, &c. Now, we have an older toaster (~1.5 years), running sqwebmail; and a non-webmail toaster; and we want to _move_ those accounts to our new toaster, including mail sitting on the old boxen. Also, of course, there are issues of modifying MX and DNS; but, we control DNS on most of these domains. What is the recommended process? Is this as simple as tarring up the entire ~vpopmail/domains/ structure, and un-tarring on the new box? Can it be that simple? I use scripts for creating new domains and bulk adding users; so, I won't have too much trouble going one domain at a time; but, O, the tedium -- especially if there is some bulk migration process. What do you think? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
