I host mail for a number of my clients, so there may be a period of

this. I had thought about just turning off the old server once the DNS
changes have been made so that no mail would be lost in translation,
A few days before the move, change the TTL on the existing DNS records to something very short. That way, once you change the IP address, there's a better chance that the "fresh" data will go out.
but I had also thought about converting it to a store and forward
server so that the mail will get delivered to the new server quicker.
Not a bad idea, either.
