This white paper on our web site (that Ben mentioned previously) tells you what can be safely moved within LISTSERV: <http://www.lsoft.com/resources/wp-movinglistserv.pdf> As for LSMTP, the only files from the old server that would be of any use are config.dat and license.file. Passwords.dat should also be moved if you use internally stored and encrypted passwords. (Config.dat may need some minor tweaking to take into account any new directory structures.) -- Regards, Michael Shannon Senior Consultant, Asia Pacific Region [log in to unmask] L-Soft international, Inc. http://www.lsoft.com Chazzozz!!
