Oh, indeed. That's such an antiquated feature that I no longer had it on
my radar. And like you said: When Postfix is used, it's even disabled
and that's the new default.
You should be able to copy the relevant sections from
/etc/mail/mailertable on the source server to /etc/mail/mailertable on
the target server and then run "makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db <
/etc/mail/mailertable" to put them into effect (for Sendmail).
But indeed: The GUI will not show them and other than Easy-Migrate there
is no sensible way to migrate these. I'm even wondering if Easy-Migrate
will move these across and wouldn't lay my hand into the fire for that.
