Hi,
When I recently transferred all of my user backups from a Linux server to a FreeBSD server, not all of the forwarders and pop mailboxes were restored.
Where is the list of pop mailboxes stored? I don't mean the email data itself, but actually the list of mailboxes assigned to each user. I want to restore those lists so that if a user's mailbox has gone missing, it will recreate it for them (albeit without the old email data).
Any ideas would be much appreciated,
Matt
PS, if this helps anyone:
I've restored the forwarders etc using:
...on the old server then a 'tar zxvf' on the new server under /etc/virtual. Note the exclude.me is used because I didn't want to copy over the passwd files.
