I AM A MACINTOSH GOD!

Well, not really. I did get my mail server going .... mostly.

Here's what I did.

1. Use Apple's Mail to IMAP into all users email and archive it to local mailboxes. (Major Pain in the ass)

2. Build an ENTIRELY new 10.3 server and update it.

3. Made it a Open Directory Replica (Required for my setup)

4. Ditto the /var/spool/postfix directory to the new server (Target Disk Mode Rocks!)

5. run 'postfix check' as root.

6. start up mail server and BAM! You've got all yor mail from your queue.

7. Use Apple's Mail to upload archived mail to user accounts.

Thank's again for the advice, I just purchased a 15" Power Book G4 with a 1.25 GHz processor , 1 512 RAM chip, 80 G 5400 HD and the combo drive. It should be a sweet machine. I'm sure there will be more questions to come.

That's a wicked nice machine. I just recommended it to a friend of mine (with a super drive though). You made the best configuration choices possible. I would recomend picking up a bit more ram sometime soon. 512 is more than adiquate for most things, but ...
