No. [snipped] When you move your messages, the timestamp will be 'in the past' for the new server, so even if you were to duplicate an inode number, the timestamp would still ensure uniqueness.
And the hostname would be different. :-)
In fact no, since the new server will replace the old one, they do have the same hostname. But since the timestamps ensure uniqueness, I'm fine ;-)
Thank you for your answers,
