Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way to modify an existing domain in my mailcow server (which has nothing to do with the domain of the main server and the fqdn), it is a domain that includes mailboxes, it would be necessary to modify this domain from: mydomain.biz to mydomain.org following a change of extension.

What would be the best way to make this change, while avoiding the loss of data on existing accounts?

  • You could add the new domain as Alias-Domain for a quick solution.

The best and easiest way would be to create the new domain inclusive all mailboxes in Mailcow and to transfer all existing mails from old mailboxes to the new mailboxes with a sync job (imapsync). However, other data like addressbooks and agendas need to be exported from the old mailboxes and imported in the new ones. This can be done directly in SOGO.

Have something to say?

Thanks to both of you for your replies, I’m going to keep things as simple as possible for the time being with an alias and gradually change over time.
