I figured out what was wrong last night, and got it working. Even though I copied everything from server A, to server B: /home/vpopmail /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/users
(These are the only files needed to restore from what I understand) I unpacked everything on server B, every looked the same as server A, but did not work. So, the only difference I could find, was the User ID's and Group ID's Example, Vpopmail UID was 510 on server A, and UID was 522 on server B So, I reapplied all user & group ID's to all files, (I used webmin for this, nice and easy, not sure the command line) Something still wasn't right, so I found this /home/vpopmail/bin ./vdominfo The vdominfo, printed out the listing, which said my UID & GID's were the same as on the server A, so I simply changed the UID & GID, save changes to all files, and everything is now working. (I changed the UID's & GID's in webmin, I am not sure how to do that, and apply to all files through the command line) So, now I'm a happy camper, and will know what to do next time. Now, to figure out how to forward emails from the old queue, to the new queue.

I corrected the problem when I did a fresh install, and then: * Added domains with vadddomain * Deleted ~vpopmail/domains/<all-domain-directories> * Moved the domains from my backup to ~vpopmail/domains/ I think the problem has to do with ~vpopmail/domains/.dir-control but I'm not sure. Does anyone out there know the "right" way to restore vpopmail? david On Fri, 16 Aug 2002 23:09:43 -0600 "Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > I have a problem with my vpopmail now. > > I recently moved my /home/vpopmail directory, to a new server, setup > the same as the server it came from. > > It delivers, and sends mail fine. > > The problem, is when trying to retrieve pop3 mail. > > It connects, authenticates fine.
