Re: [vps-mail] Convert qmail messages to sendmail format

[robyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yeah, this isn't on a Siganture box.  We are doing a migration from a differnet hosting company, Linux based and running qmail.  We need to migrate the account over to a Verio server, VPS2 FreeBSD based running sendmail (mbox format).  From what I can tell the originating server is using maildir format, so I will try the script provided by Scott earlier and see how it works.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
