Aki, thanks I'm not certain I understand your comment properly I currently have server 'geko' intention was to change A record to assign geko to new IP/server, assign new hostname to oldserver A record I guess I;ll still get some emails delivered to oldserver with new hostname/old ip for 24 hours or so after aA record change ? so, I was going to re run rsync 2 or 3 times over the first 24 hours or so ? are you saying NOT to rsync once A record changed ? sorry for being slow (sorry for sending not to list...)
