issues with email migration

[David Patton]

This morning I moved the contents from the server over to an NFS share.

 

This is a freebsd 6.2 server running postfix, courier-imap and squirrelmail.
I used rsync to move the data for /www and /mail over to the nfs share.
After I made the changed to fstab and rebooted, every thing came up and
email seemed to be faster but in fact it wasn't. Once I realized that there
was an issue, I changed the link back for the /www directory to the original
location and left the link for /mail pointing to the nfs share. I found from
a search to try newaliaies and the restart postfix but that didn't work.

Any thoughts on the subject?
