Title: Disabling a virtual host

Well, if you have moved the virtual server to another box, you’ve most likely moved the dns and no mail should be sent to the original server.  No new mail would be sent to the old server, and you could just create a temporary dns entry for the server on their domain like pop.yourdomain.com so they could still retrieve mail.  You shouldn’t have to mess with anything in Imail at all, just the dns.  Then just remove the dns entry and the virtual domain after they have finished getting all mail….  That way any stragglers(emails) will still get delivered to your old setup as well.   Thanks, Shaun ----------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Mickey  270net Technologies Phone: 301.663.6000 x28 Fax: 301.663.4410 www.270net.com "Internet/Technology Solutions for Business and Government" ----------------------------------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Odryna Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 2:15 PM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] Disabling a virtual host   One of our virtual hosted domains moved to another server.   We would like to keep all the existing accounts, for as short amount of time, so that they can be cleaned out by the users.  How can I disable mail routing to that virtual host on our IMail server while keep all the accounts and mail accessible?
