Thanks, Luigi, I may fall back to that.

Should you need it, here's the script I use to do it.

In my configurations /var/spool/mail contains one dir for each domain and each of that dir contains a maildir for each domain. So the email of foobar@acme.com is in /var/spool/mail/acme.com/foobar/

The 4th line checks lost&found because /bar/spool/mail is a different file system.

I create the .tgz file on local /tmp for performance reasons.

TARGET=/backup for DOMAINPATH in /var/spool/mail/* do if [ "${DOMAINPATH}" != "/var/spool/mail/lost+found" ] then DOMAIN=echo $DOMAINPATH | cut -d '/' -f 5 for USERPATH in ${DOMAINPATH}/* do USER=echo $USERPATH | cut -d '/' -f 6 tar cvzf /tmp/$DOMAIN-$USER.tgz $USERPATH > /dev/null cp -f /tmp/$DOMAIN-$USER.tgz $TARGET/mail rm -f /tmp/$DOMAIN-$USER.tgz done fi

done

Ciao, luigi
