The mail is in /var/mail/$user. My new server is siting next to the old. Is there someone who knows a way to tell sendmail to send the mails out again????? I'll have changed my primary MX to point to the new server so that these emails are delivered into the new server. I know I can use formail -s sendmail user@domain < /var/mail/user but here is a case where I have over 2000 users!!!! Urgent help greatly appreciated.
