Fernando,
You _cannot_ have 2 computers on a network with the same name and IP, at the
same time, it just will not work (conflicts!!). If one were off and the
other on, then this might work, but it would not accomplish what you wish.
The only way to to use the same name/IP would be to complete the migration,
then shut off the old server, and turn on the new.
If you used different hostname and IP, then you could have both servers on
at the same time and users could connect to the old, forward their old mail
to the new server and once completed, use only the new server.
Again, PEERing in IMail, is ONLY with other IMail Servers.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Peering with Netscape Messaging server
The objective is to migrate from NMS to IMail - since I cannot have
passwords in clear text from NMS so I can pass all accounts to IMail and
have the same host name and ip address on the new IMail server (this way
users wouldn't have to change their email client settings) - having both
servers running while users confirm the passwords of new accounts on the
imail server (assuming I can pass them except the correct password) using
the IMail's HTTP server and a phone call. This way, the load on the old NMS
server (that's the problem with the NMS) would decrease while users would
pacifically migrate from one server to another, changing only the server
name on their email clients (or using the web interface from IMail).
NMS doesn't accept traffic from the IMail server, even with the VRFY command
enable on both servers. I think th e peer functions doesn't work with other
servers than IMail.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Peering with Netscape Messaging server
Does someone know how to get NMS3.62 to peer with IMail? I tried to have
IMail peering with netscape but netscape is rejecting deliver attemps from
IMail.
what's the error msg in NMS log?
I have IMail with higher priority on DNS (lower MX value), sharing the
same domain with NMS.
So all mail for @somedomain.com goes to Imail first, and then Imail will
send some of the mail to NMS using the VFRY command. What's your objective?
Imail's peering is "supposed" to share the load between servers of equal MX
preference values.
(I never have understood how relaying 1/2 of the incoming mail to another
peered server is a lesser load that one unpeered server just delivering all
mail to itself.)
Do you have the SMTP VRFY command enabled on both servers?
Imail knows what Imail peering is. Does NMS know what Imail peering is?
What have you told your users to put as SMTP server for outgoing mail?
for POP3 server?
