It was manually retyping. I was rebuilding a new server which I did by
putting a new harddisk in my workstation and then making a VMWare guest
using the raw disk. I don't install any of the vmware crud in that
guest since it is a pain to get rid of and disk would be the new primary
disk in a physical machine anyway. Consequently I had no copy and paste
capability and had to retype manually.
SSH would have been one alternative, but the ssh connections hang
between a host and guest on the same machine under some circumstances
(and always for me). It is some tcp level issue that I didn't bother
resolving.
But I am happy to have successfully migrated from Gentoo qmail,
maildrop, courier and sqwebmail to Ubuntu postfix, procmail, dovecot and
squirrelmail.
