I recently swichted my virtual server and for that reason I had to move the whole postfix from the old to the new server.
I created an archive (.tar.gz) for each domain in /var/qmail/mailnames/
For example: There is an email address [email protected]
. So I've created a me.net.tar.gz
archive from /var/qmail/mailnames/me.net
.
Old server: Ubuntu 12.04, Plesk 10 or 11
New server: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Plesk 12.5
The first step was creating a plesk user for the me.net
domain, added via that user the [email protected]
email address and tested it: worked.
The next step was uploading the previously created me.net.tar.gz
to the new server and extracting it in /var/qmail/mailnames/me
The last step was rebooting postfix.
The result: Everything looks fine: I have all my old mails in all my old IMAP folders.
But: I do not receive emails anymore. I can compose and send new mails, they are listed in the sent folder and they appear in the receiver mailbox. If I write an email to this address (like before extracting the archive with the old files), nothing happens. I don't get any error messages (e.g. mail address not reachable or does not exist etc.). I can send mails and read old mails via different devices and email clients, but I can't receive anymore...
Does anyone know this issue?
Thanks!
