Re: [Postfixadmin-devel] Checking on a few assumptions...

Correct. You can obviously configure Postfix to continue using /etc/aliases (or not).

Yes.

I think there are some minor database changes, but nothing that should be too problematic.

Yes. PA CLI may be easiest. I’ve not used it myself yet - but it’s what it is meant for.

Yes. This isn’t necessary if you create the right structure manually and fix ownership/permissions.

Yes.
