Manual migration of email forwarders and autoresponders

[albatroz]

Days ago I migrated a domain from one CPanel server to another using this method
How to Manually Transfer an Account Between Servers - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation
but moved the /home/xxx folder manually because the source disk was almost full.
Now it seems that some emails forwarders and autoresponders were not migrated so I am receiving this error message:
pipe to |/usr/local/cpanel/bin/autorespond email@domain
/home3/xxx/.autorespond

It looks like the configuration for emails forwarders were not migrated, so I was
wondering if there is a manual way for doing so.

Forwarders are located in the file /etc/valiases/domain.com. You can just copy that file over, just make sure the ownership and permissions are correct when you are done.

Hello @albatroz,

This is not a supported method of manually transferring an account.

Is there enough space on the source server to backup the account without the contents of it's public_html directory? If so, you'll want to backup the account on the source server using /scripts/pkgacct with the following flag:

--skippublichtml

From there, you can manually migrate the contents of the public_html directory after restoring the backup archive on the destination server.

Thank you.
