Good plan.
First problem: sqwebmail shows my email address as [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] newserver is not listed as an mx (yet). Seems like that will mess up replies from folks that I send e-mail to from that server.
Look at the "defaultdomain" section in 'man courier'. It won't mess up replies (a domain doesn't need an record if the A resolves to the proper place), but it's probably not what you want. Once you fix "defaultdomain", remove the sqwebmail preferences file from your Maildir.
Ahh, much better, Thank you. I found the defaultdomain file by looking in the program code this morning, but when creating a message I was still getting the wrong return address. Deleting the sqwebmail-config from the Maildir solved that. I was unaware of that file!
Second problem: I have more than one user in the domain. If I migrate just myself, how should I set up courier's locals file? Other users of my domain are still on the old server...
Your .qmail file should direct mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That host should only have newserver.theduz.com in its locals file. Later, as the last step of your transition, you'll change your MX record for theduz.com to point to newserver, and add theduz.com to it's locals file.
OK, seems to be working for me now.
Should I be doing something with esmtproutes, perhaps?
Nope. As long as theduz.com isn't in locals, normal routing rules will get mail where it's supposed to go.
