Hi, I have to migrate e-mail messagges from a ms exchange server to a postfix server. I have found nothing, the only thing I have in mind is to use fetchmail on the postfix server to get the e-mail messagges from the ms exchange server. Is this correct? Are there other methods, like "copy" e-mail from one machine to the other? Which format are the exchange e-mail stored in? Thanks in advance.
I have no idea what format Exchange uses to store emails, so I think fetchmail or getmail would be the best options. http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_fetchmail http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_getmail
Thanks. Is all ok, but I am in the need of retrieving e-mail from a mail server (to the new mail-server) inside the same lan. If I put in fetchmail something like: (192.168.10.254 is the old mail server from which I have to fetch e-mails) poll 192.168.10.254 protocol imap user.... I always get: fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. Does fetchmail only accepts fqdn after the "poll" ? Thanks in advance.
No errors, I always get: fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified if I put a class c address. /etc/fetchmailrc set daemon 120 set syslog set postmaster "[email protected]" set no bouncemail defaults: timeout 300 antispam -1 batchlimit 100 poll 192.168.10.254 protocol POP3 no dns localdomains example.com username "test" password "test" to * here NEWS: now it seems to accept class c addresses, but I get: Server CommonName mismatch: mailserver.example.com != 192.168.10.254 Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate and it doesn't fetch e-mails
Fetchmail can only be used for mail in transit, you need to use imapsync to do the migration it will preserve all the message flags.
