Coming from j-chkmail to ze-filter

Migrating from j-chkmail to ze-filter is quite easy if you use the tool migrate-j-chkmail-2-ze-filter found inside tools directory of source distribution. This script does most of the job :

• copy configuration, work and spool directories;
• rename files;
• replace references to old things…;
• create new user and group : ze-filter;
• set owner and group of converted files.

The best way to use it is to execute these steps (order is important) :

steps :

  # 1. stop j-chkmail services :
  service jchkmail stop
  # 2. migrate j-chkmail data :
  migrate-j-chkmail-2-ze-filter --op copy
  # 3. check if everything was done as expected
  # 4. compile and install ze-data (as in the old way...)
  # 5. check again if everything is fine...
  # 6. start ze-filter
