If your old MX record is "10" (per example), then insert their NEW server as
an MX record with a lesser priority, like "5" in this example.

NEW records should be seen immediately. After you confirmed that the new MX
record works, you can stop accepting mail for them.

In addition you can add THEIR domain name and THEIR new IP Address to your
HOSTS file (in SYSTEM32\Drivers\Etc). IMail will consult that file FIRST
before looking up DNS. Thus, your server will know where to relay those
messages to (assuming, of course that you no longer have a mail domain
defined for that domain name in your IMAIL).  Check the IPswitch knowledge
base for "HOSTS" file.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I was wondering how I can relay for a domain through my Imail server.
I'm currently running Imail 8.22 HF2. I have a customer that had a
virtual domain on my server but built their own server yesterday. I
thought I set the TTL to 1 hour last week, but apparently not. I changed
the MX to point to their new server but the record still hasn't expired.
Is there a way to forward to their server from mine? Mine is shown as
the official MX record. I looked but didn't see how it's done.
