Hmm; not bad -- the restore has been done but I could rename /domains
and use it as sort of a roadmap for what needs to happen. Thanks for
the spark of that idea. :-)

Right. :-) I'm too new to feel confident that I know how to go about
that -- the 'hacked' server had my first-ever installs of qmail,
vpopmail, ezmlm-idx, qmailadmin, sqwebmail, and one other web-based
thing I can't seem to remember the name of now -- not vmailmgr, not
vmailadmin, but the same idea.... A "newbie tried in the fire" would
describe my current level of expertise on this. :-)
