Migrating email boxes to a new server and postfix [solved]

[pcameron]

Hi email pplz,

I would hope someone could help me on pointing me in the right direction on where to start looking for the issue. Im really not too good at email or unix. I have a gentoo system up and running as my email system. I have got a new computer and im building it up as a migration box. Im trying to duplicate my email system from old to new, I have repeated the steps to setup my email server and copy over my email boxes.

Could someone who knows where I should start to look point me in the right direction? I need some basic pointers on where to start to look for the below error log.


its a postfix, courier-imap, sasld, running mysql for the auth. I used the www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml without using the virt concept, just the auth concept listed.

Please see my mail logs when i attempt to use a thunderbird to connect to the new (bluehills) sever. I have removed the domain from the log with blah.com
