Why not convert your static IP to virtual by editing the IMail options in the registry (back up registry and IMail first)and changing DNS for each domain to a default IP on the old server then when all done move all domains across to new server? Worked fine for us but took a long time.

JunkMail@declude. com Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Migrating to new hardware Hi all, Soon I will be migrating three IMail installations on different servers onto one new server. Currently, one of the old servers has Declude installed and this host will be transferred as the primary host so I can retain Declude, of course. (That's the whole point of this exercise....everyone wants their email protected by Declude, so I am dedicating a hot, new machine to IMail/Declude!) One issue I foresee is converting many email hosts that use static IPs to virtual servers. It will be a customer service pain, but I think I can handle it. The problem will be I can't afford to transfer ALL the existing static IP hosts to the new server all at once, converting them to virtual hosts as they are transferred. I think that would be a nightmare. I'd much prefer to do them one at a time over several days or weeks. But that would mean having two installations of Declude running while I've only purchased one. So, basically, my question is how to transfer an existing IMail/Declude installation to a new server so Declude is running on BOTH servers until the migration is complete and I can retire the old server? --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
