Right... we didn't really plan on letting that happen, we just overlooked
it... :( Most of our users are still using the OLD server as an outgoing
smtp server. We thought it would be easier than reconfiguring all the
clients. Now I'm working on a workaround, which will probably be to have
the old mailhub forward all mail to the new mailhub. Why does this stuff
need to be so damn complicated? :)
