you elaborate a bit more on exactly what you want to do.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">It
sounds like you are currently using mailscanner and postfix in a hold queue
configuration with imap on the local server?</font></span></div>

want to move some users one at a time so in order to move the data you want to

Configure postfix to deliver to the new imap server for the migrated user

Start releasing the users mail.</font></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br>This is exactly what I intend to do if possible. I'm not a postfix expert but if I just knew that a solution exist, that would be a starting point.

I cant
see the fact that you are using a hold queue being a problem. Once the mail has
been requeued back into the normal incoming queue then postfix should follow its
normal delivery methods including transport maps if you have them
defined.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I dont
know how you would stop mail for a particular user though. Perhaps you can
configure a seaprate hold queue and move mails from there to the regular hold
queue when you want them scanned and released? I dont know if this is
possible.</font></span></div><div><span class="e" id="q_111e250407a7755d_1">

discussion<br><b>Subject:</b> OT : alternative to postfix hold queue as it's
used by mailscanner<br><br></font></div>Hello,<br><br>I posted this question a
week ago on postfix's newsgroup alt.comp.mail.postfix but got no answer.
I apologize for being a bit off topic but I thought maybe someone would be
able to help me on this list as my need is a bit related with mailscanner
works with postfix. <br><br>Here's what I sent :<br><br>I'm using postfix
associated with mailscanner. When a mail arrives, postfix puts it in the hold
queue, then mailscanner takes it, scans it and moves it the incoming queue.
<br><br>Now, I'm planning to migrate the imap backend to another, beginning
with some users (there will be a transport table to handle presence of both
imap servers). <br><br>I'd like to run this process : <br><br>1) Put mails for
user foo in some hold queue <br>2) use imapsync to transfer imap data to the
new backend <br>3) set up a transport table with special mention for user foo
<br>4) release mails from the hold queue for user foo <br><br>Mailscanner
using postfix's hold queue, I'm affraid I won't be able to use it? Do you know
an alternative I could use ? <br><br>Thanks in advance, <br clear="all"><br>--
