  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Migration from Qmail to Postfix...

S

Scott D.

New Pleskian
Using the Plesk's migration manager, should I be able to migrate all accounts (including domains AND email) from a Fedora 7 / Qmail setup to an Ubuntu 8.04 / Postfix setup? My greatest concern is the email since they are completely different platforms. Both are running Plesk 9.5.

Thanks for all of your help!

Scott
 
Mailnames structure (/var/qmail/mailnames/) is equal for both MTAs on Plesk. Therefore you can safely migrate mailboxes from one MTA to other.
 
A word of warning: You may run into troubles because of cross-platform. But generally, the migration from a Qmail machine to a Postfix machine is fairly painless. It's when you try to convert an existing Qmail system to Postfix that you will run into some trouble.
 
how easy is it going back to qmail. I am having nothing but problems with postfix
 
I'm not sure, because as soon as I could get away from Qmail, I did. It's a fine MTA, but I just don't like its logging, and being familiar with Sendmail & Postfix, it was a natural choice. What kinds of troubles are you having with the Postfix? Maybe somebody could help you with that.
