I set up mutiple domains (example1.com & example2.com) and virtual users for both domains. The problem I have is the users from example1.com who had mail in the /var/spool/mail/user file now need that mail (almost 42MB),i need to put it into the /var/spool/vmail/example2.com/user directory. Does anybody have an Idea on how to do this? and in what format,and do I need to run some sort of script to convert it etc Regards Shawn
