Hi All,
I've just a new server to help with migration of our email, the old
email server is using mbox and the new is using Maildir. I've
managed to some user mail migrated fine. The new server is only a
temp server as I have too many users to migrate easily in one go(Also
I want to nuke the current mailserver, remove SuSE and install Debian
on it). So what i'm doing it moving users one by one to temp server
and converting to Maildir. My question is.
I notice that all email files in maildir format end with .<host> when
I go to migrate everything to back over to the original server is
this going to cause me problem? Ie will the original server now have
to be named the same as the temp server so that the maildir format
files end with the same .<host> or does that not matter?
Any help, advise would be great.
Gabe
