Setting up test server

[Rob Freeman]

If you have the user's and group's moved over, and this is a blank server,
you can rsync the info over keeping the info intact.  Just a quick off the
head example:

rsync -avru /home/  -e ssh  root at testserverip:/home/

We do the above to keep a sync of data between redhat servers, so some
tweaking may be needed, but works for us.

OK, I think I have slightly miss read your original question. Pretend  
I know nothing (Not hard!) and tell me what you are trying to  
achieve. Do you want to move the mail you have, duplicate the mail  
that you are receiving to a second box, duplicate some of the mail  
you are receiving to some users on the new box?

Sorry, not enough beer yet...
