Can I just copy all the old mail to the new server and start up Dovecot? Will Dovecot automatically create the indexes and stuff that it needs? Do the names of the actual mail files matter? </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/leopard-server-sl-server-dovecot#post-786 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:42:14 +0000 rbryanh 786@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Despite the fact that my issues concern X Server and that's not primarily what this site is about, I'm still hoping for the counsel of the wise (as opposed to any specific q or a).</p> <p>I've a modest OSX server farm - four hosts, half on Snow Leopard and half (G5s) on Leopard.</p> <p>I've come to loathe Cyrus with a passion I normally reserve for religion and politics, and glad Apple abandoned it, and would like to rebuild the 10.5.x Server systems to use Dovecot. </p> <p>Beyond that, I'd like to rebuild the Leopard systems to be as close to identical to the SL systems as is feasible, but give my aforementioned hatred for Cyrus, mail services seem a good place to start.</p> <p>My concerns are my merely moderate expertise, not breaking Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, or any of the other training wheels that my less savvy staff use, and ending up with something that's more uniform, more elegant, and more reliable than the not-too-bad mishmash I've currently got. Since X Server's mailserver has always been the sharpest rock in my boot, I figure I'll start there.</p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p>-Bryan </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/whats-the-minimal-simplest-config#post-699 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:50:45 +0000 RobLewis 699@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>I'm getting ready to migrate from Tiger Server on a G4 to Snow Leopard (not server) on a Mac Mini. </p> <p>I want mail service for a few Macs, a PC, and a couple of "Audrey" internet appliances on my local domain. Except for the Audreys, which are POP-only, I could use an all-IMAP system. </p> <p>What do I need to install? I only need to handle one domain (though I'd like the ability to handle others). Thanks for any tips. </p> <p>Also: what's a good setup for running a local DNS to replace OS X Server's? </p>
