[webmin-l] Problem migrating from sendmail using Maildir to Postfix

Hi All,

 

I am in the process of migrating several servers from sendmail to postfix as
the MTA. I'm already using Maildir and procmail is working perfectly.

 

I have a good configuration that works, however none of the existing user
email accounts can receive email due to not being listed in the virtual
domains. Any new accounts I create work perfectly, however even if I set up
what looks like the equivalent mapping within the postfix config, the user
gets rejected as a recipient.

 

So, my question is:

 

Is there a way to import the existing email accounts into postfix through
Webmin without deleting them one by one and recreating them.

 

So far I have tried taking a backup of the domain and restoring just the
users and their home directories, and deleting the entire domain from the
server and restoring that. Still no entries in the virtual file and no email
delivery to these pre-existing addresses.

 

This is a small server with only two domains and about 10 addresses, so it
would be possible to delete >recrezte > restore the homes, for each address,
however, my larger server which is also, hopefully going to get the same
upgrade is going to have well over 100 email accounts, so must me automated
in some way.

 

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Keith
