    From your initial post, I thought you had installed a new ISPConfig server, and not that you have been using it for about five years already. No current ISPConfig servers are still using Amavis; the auto-installer installs rspamd by default.

    Before considering replacing the mail filtering system, I recommend you update your server to a recent Ubuntu version and ISPConfig version.

    The above guide should probably work for Ubuntu as well, but I have not migrated any system to rspamd for years using it.

    In case this is not an old system, then you should consider using a modern setup installed by the auto-installer right from the start: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

    ispconfig is current: 3.3.0p2 , i did upgrade with ispconfig_update.sh several times but was always reluctant to upgrade the os because i dont know what happens if i do.
    the question is what it the "best" way to do it? i guess its not a "do-release-upgrade" and be done ;)
    its very easy for me to setup a new server, where it becomes unsafe water for me is the ispconfig stuff.
    how to move everything from old to new?
    edit: and for your question whether this is being new or old. its "old". i was just extremely lazy on migrating stuff from plesk to ispconfig. *shameonme*

    ok, so you've been using ISPConfig for a long time. Your initial questions about SSL certs and which server name to use when setting up an email client sounded as if you have not used ISPConfig before :)

    What about using the search function ;) ?

    One option is the migration tool:

    Another option is doing it manually; there are several threads here in the forum that describe what users did to move an installation manually to a new server.
