Do we have a precedence on questions that are based more on servers than unix? P.S. I'm specifically thinking that I might want to migrate this question to serverfault

If you haven't seen it already you should see this post. blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/03/… It covers this topic at a broad level.– ZoredacheCommented May 4, 2012 at 23:20

All unix questions are on-topic here, except programming questions (which we redirect to Stack Overflow).
Some unix questions are also on-topic elsewhere (Server Fault, Super User, Ask Ubuntu, Ask Different are the usual suspects). When it comes to questions that are on-topic on multiple sites, the general policy is that they stay where they were asked.
Sometimes a question might be migrated: if it's a far better match for another site and only borderline where it was asked; or if it goes un(satisfactorily)-answered for a while. If the question works where it's posted, it should not be migrated.
Case in point: this question has an accepted answer. It's not a significantly better fit for SF than for U&L. Don't migrate it.

note: wasn't accepted when I posted. I personally would have thought that one is a significantly better fit personally, since none of it has anything at all to do with unix. In fact all the steps mentioned apply to php/mailservers on windows.– xenoterracide ModCommented May 4, 2012 at 23:43

but if you think that it's a good enough fit, you do way more for this site than I do– xenoterracide ModCommented May 5, 2012 at 0:27
