cPanel Email Aliases – copy from server to server

Recently the Hostmedic group was asked by a client to move a fairly large account from one server to another.  The client uses the cPanel interface.   While everything moved quite well – they were left with one issue -  eMail aliases – forwarders did not copy over.

if this happens to you – just scp the domain(s) file under /etc/valiases from the original server to the new.

#  scp -pr /etc/valiases/domain.com root@newserverip:/etc/valiases/

Hope that saves someone a headache or two
