I know you didn't ask, but I'm compelled to wonder why not move it to a distribution that will be supported for about 5 years, CentOS? :)<br><br>In terms of backup, go to the new machine and install your AV, spamassassin, etc, move over your passwords, users, mailboxes, etc. Install stock MailScanner and all its dependancies. Then from the original system<br>
<br>tar czvf mailscanner-backup.tgz /etc/MailScanner /usr/lib/MailScanner <br><br>At the bare minimum you should move /etc/MailScanner but if you modified your /etc/init.d/MailScanner or any custom functions in /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/ you gotta pack those too.<br>

What is the easiest way to move my FC4 MailScanner setup to a new box running FC8? Any backup and restore procedure in place yet?<br><span class="sg"><br>-Devon<br><br><br>
