Hi all. I've been using MailScanner for a long time, and EFA since at least v3.
I used to run it personally and for a couple of small businesses, now it's just my own simple personal setup.
I went to do the v4 to v5 update and made backups/snapshots just in case. Built a new Alma 9 VM and followed the migration guide.
Holy crapola was that smooth. EVERYTHING just works. I can browse quarantine from a month ago and release messages, no problem.
Very impressive, kudos to Shawn and the team!
The only minor glitch I had was step 9 in V4 appliance preparation. The "sudo sa-learn –backup > /root/backup.txt" (copied and pasted) should be --backup. It took me a couple of tries before I spotted it. Maybe it's a font (eyesight) issue. It does almost look like --backup in the doc, but even copy/pasting it comes in as -
Migration v4 to v5 worked perfectly!

I've also been using eFa since version 3 — initially for a large company, and now just for personal use.
I'm currently running eFa v4 on AlmaLinux 8.10, and I was wondering whether an upgrade to v5 would be feasible.
Your experience is encouraging, especially knowing it works smoothly even on AlmaLinux 9. Thanks for sharing!
