Mdaemon Migration!

I currently have proxy server and Mdaemon server (ver 9.6.3) together in one box. I want to migrate Mdaemon to another box sitting behind the firewall in the LAN. What is the quick and painless procedure to do it?
If you have any question about my configuration please let me know.
Thanks,

Andy

Right now I use DomainPop with a Postmaster account to pull the email from my ISP. If I put this new box on my LAN, is there any configuration change I need to make? Would it prevent the postmaster account to pull the emails if I put the box in the LAN?
Thanks,

The DomainPOP mailbox is most likely on a public server on the internet. If your new box on the LAN has internet access, it should be able to talk to the mailserver holding the DomainPOP account without problems.

Very good! About point #5 and #6 on your first post.
Should I install Mdeamon first then copy the files from the old box rather than copy then install?
If I copy the files first would the installation override all the files I have copied?
Thank you very much. I will do this on Friday.

First copy files, then install Mdaemon. With your original files on the new box, the installation will pick up your existing settings as if it was doing an update.
Just make sure you are using the same Mdaemon version on the two boxes.

Good luck.
