Hi again, I think I actually did succeed with this, it was some work but I used some info I found on a website (http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=26&showtopic=9288) and converted all my databases to skiplist in the process (don't know if it was really needed). I thought that I should write how I did it if someone else needs it in the future. Since I hate those maillist threads where your question is asked and no one ever answer. Also of course if anyone have anything to add that I forgot they are welcome. On the osx host I did dump the mboxlist (ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.txt), rsync -av --delete /var/spool/imap/user/ newmailserver:/var/spool/imap/domain/example.com/user/, rsync -av --delete /var/imap/ newmailserver:/var/imap.example.com/ and don't forget to scp over the mboxlist.txt file as well to a directory close to you. so now you should have all the data on the new mailserver. I then wrote a script that converts the .seen files (which were in flat db format on the old server and in skiplist format on the new one), adds the domain (example.com!) to the .sub files and fixes the cyrus.header files (adding domains at places and changing permissions). I also did add example.com! before all users in the mboxlist.txt, an @example.com after the username in the same file and finally changed the permissions. after this you just stop cyrus on the new server, delete the following files: /var/imap/db/__* /var/imap/db/log* /var/imap/db.backup?/* /var/imap/annotations.db /var/imap/tls_sessions.db /var/imap/deliver.db I don't know if I need to delete all of these but I had a lot of problems with bdb when I kept some of them (I didn't experiment that much with what I could have kept) restart the server and run: su cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < /tmp/mboxlistnew.txt" Then you of course need to import the users in whatever you use to authenticate them but thats another problem. I will post my scripts here but they are very hackish and you use them on your own risk and stuff. They are split in two since solaris find does suck. oldtonewserver.sh: #!/bin/bash echo "Fixing the userfile" cat mboxlist.txt | awk '{FS="\t"; print "example.com!" $1 "\t" $2 "\t" $3"@exam\ ple.com\t" $4}' | sed s/lrswipcda/lrswipkxtea/ > /tmp/mboxlistnew.txt cd /var/spool/imap/domain/example.com/user find . -name "cyrus.header" -exec /root/sedstuff.sh {} \; cd /var/imap.example.com/user for b in `find /var/imap.example.com/user -name "*.seen"` do echo "converting " $b " to skiplist" mv $b $b.old su cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb $b.old flat $b skiplist" rm $b.old done for b in `find . -name "*.sub"` do echo "fixing subsciption file" $b mv $b $b.old cat $b.old | sed 's/user./example.com!user./' > $b rm $b.old done rm -rf /var/imap/domain/e/example.com/* su cyrus -c "cp -R /var/imap.example.com/user /var/imap/domain/e/example.com/" su cyrus -c "cp -R /var/imap.example.com/quota /var/imap/domain/e/example.com/" #commands to run manually after script is done # svcadm disable imap # rm /var/imap/db/__* /var/imap/db/log* # rm /var/imap/db.backup?/* # rm /var/imap/annotations.db # rm /var/imap/tls_sessions.db # rm /var/imap/deliver.db # svcadm enable imap # su cyrus -c "/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < /tmp/mboxlistnew.txt" sedstuff.sh: #!/bin/bash cat "$@" | gsed 's/lrswipcda/lrswipkxtea/' | gsed '6 s/\t/@example.com\t/' | gs\ ed '4 s/^/example.com!/' > /tmp/tempfile cp /tmp/tempfile "$@" And the answer to the bonus question is not saslauthd but: sudo ldapsearch -LLL -H ldap://servername.example.com -b "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com" Since I want to dump the osx server not use the osx server as authentication source. /Mikael Dmitriy Kirhlarov wrote: > On Wed, Nov 08, 2006 at 10:08:02PM +0100, Mikael Nehlsen wrote: > >> I have an old MacOS X server with cyrus 2.2.12.
