I've done this a couple of time - but both times I just did it manually - with the tools in the OS - as this was the quickest. One was from an SGI IRIX, the other was from SunOS. The latter had a really slow sendmail system on a very old box. The move to a FreeBSD was not planned that far in advance and not planned for - but the Sun had gotten so slow they moved to getting their mail directly from their ISP. It was about a 10 minute job [max] using cut(1) and paste(1). Since I'd started with Unix before pool and on limited systems, those tools came to mind naturally. Both the SGI and SunOS conversions worked flawlessly. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
