Yep... and that is exactly why I mentioned it. Other local domains, or any traffic coming into that mail server would deliver to the local virtual host unless a hosts file specified the domain should really be elsewhere. So it's either remove the virtual host completely, or add the hosts file entry so mail doesn't get delivered to the local host, regardless of what the MX says.

Sorry for interrupting. This is exactly what I was researching as well. So, your stating that IMail will look to a host file first for where to deliver e-mail? Would that be so if an e-mail account in a different domain on the same server sends e-mail to the domain that was moved off? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mike Odryna > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 2:15 PM > > 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.
