Hi John,

unfortunately the legibility of your mail does not increase by reposting it ;) 
and I'm having a hard time to understand what is your text, what is a quote or 
what was reposted. :(

Changing the platform is not supported. I don't know the numbers but there 
should be several issues in the tracker explaining why it's not supported.

So what is the problem now? Still the same error as before?

Please keep in mind that we do this kind of support basically for free in our 
free time and cannot offer response times. If you need that because you are 
running a critical infrastructure, please get in touch with us for a SLA.

You don't need to stay at Lenny but continue to use the Lenny binaries. 
However Lenny support will be phased out at some point, so if you are 
installing a new server anyway, I suggest you do a fresh install with Squeeze 
packages and then use rsync to transfer the relevant data (e.g. the mail 
spool).

I have replied to your previous post in a different mail, just let me know 
when anything is still unclear.

Christoph
