You've got your work cut out for you...you'll need to copy all of your /etc/sendmail.c? and /etc/mail/* and /var/mail/*....also look to coping /etc/master.passwd from the old machine...then remove from the OLD master.passwd file all duplicate accounts that match on the target machine. merg the two files together. Move you passwd, (present) master.passwd, pwd.db, and spwd.db to a safe place...copy the new (merged) master.passwd into /etc and run pwd_mkdb -p master.passwd. cheers, mikel dyu wrote: > Dear all, > > I plan to migrate my existing sendmail server, which is running FreeBSD 3.x > with sendmail 8.9.x, to a new server box. i plan to install the lastest > version of FreeBSD and sendmail.
